Some research directions for multi-agent systems in medicine and health

In this work, we present some directions for research in multi-agent systems that may have useful and interesting applications in medicine and healthcare. Specifically, we focus on three possible applications: improving our understanding of how complex behavior may arise from the interaction of brain cells and how this can be affected; improving our understanding of metastasis formation, and how this can be inhibited; and improving the diffusion of preventive healthcare programs, particularly among hard-to-reach and more vulnerable segments of the population.
