What is LTCMAS (Long-Term Care Multi-Agent Systems)

LTCMAS is a simulator that, as a starting point, used a holistic model of care systems for people that need long-term care, the Sustainable Socio-Health Model (SSHM). The implementation of the simulator on the Jason multi-agent platform allows the tool to include human interactions, preferences and social abilities that take place between older people and the staff of healthcare systems (health and social workers). The closed-loop design of the proposed simulator permits repeated simulation of successive interactions of the target population with the healthcare system.
