Agent, Healthcare, Ubimedic2Abstract
One of the most important tasks in the healthcare system is handling emergency circumstances that arise from major accidents or natural catastrophes. When a lot of people are involved and time is of the essence, we are all worried about the need for a coordinated response and organization. This study demonstrates how agent technology may successfully meet the aforementioned requirements and introduces a multi-agent system for managing territorial emergencies in large-scale disasters. In this study, we provide Ubimedic2, a multi-agent framework that may independently coordinate the operational units during rescue missions.
