ABSTRACT
This short paper describes the design of the CONSULT system, a decision-support tool intended to help patients suffering from chronic conditions self-manage their health. The system takes input from multiple sources, including commercial wellness sensors and patient's electronic health record, to inform an intelligent back-end that reasons about day-to-day health management decisions, customised for individual patients. The architecture of the system features a modular structure for allowing input from a range of different sources, a reasoning engine underpinned by computational argumentation that constructs weighted opinions using these inputs and knowledge about their sources, and an interaction agent driven by argumentation-based dialogue that responds to user queries.

Development of a Point-of-Care HIV/Aids Medication Dosing Support System Using the Android Mobile Platform
Medication dosing errors can greatly reduce HIV treatment effectiveness as incorrect dosing leads to drug resistance and non-adherence. In order to dose correctly, HIV therapy providers must balance several patient characteristics such as renal ...
Finding best evidence for evidence-based best practice recommendations in health care: the initial decision support system design
A major problem for Canadian health organizations is finding best evidence for evidence-based best practice recommendations. Medications are not always effectively used and misuse may harm patients. Drugs are the fastest-growing element of Canadian ...
