Abstract
Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to health care for individuals with life limiting illnesses. Its primary focus is to prevent and relive suffering from symptoms related to the illness through early identification, correct assessment and treatment of symptoms such as pain and other physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems. Researchers on palliative care have concluded that increased adaptation of tools enhances identification of patients who would benefit through palliative care and hence provide adequate care suitably. The two significant challenges are introduction of early palliative care and symptoms relief. With advances and easy access to smart phones, opportunities exist for providing improved health care to cancer patients with cost-effective and targeted care coordination. This paper presents a survey of tools designed for palliative care and a feasible framework for designing an Intelligent Multi-Agent System which provides palliative care patients with immediate and proactive medical services through monitoring and diagnosis, therapy and consultation using personal computers and Smart Phones.
