In this paper we present the INTCare system, an intelligent decision support system for intensive care medicine. INTCare is an agent based system that has (autonomous) agents responsible both for data acquisition and model updating thus reducing the need for human intervention. In the present, INTCare is predicting organ failure and probability of in-hospital death. Reliable prediction results facilitate a change from the current reactive behavior to a pro-active one thus enhancing the quality of service. The functional and structural aspects are presented as are some results obtained using data collected from the bedside monitors.engMedical diagnostic imagingDecision makingDecision support systemsMedical expert systemsIntelligent systemsData acquisitionHumansQuality of serviceUsabilityDatabasesconference paper10.1109/ines.2009.4924755
