This research examines the application of evolutionary multi-agent systems (EMAS) to healthcare challenges, where adaptive, coordinated behavior can address complex resource allocation, decision-making, and patient care optimization problems. Our work investigates how heterogeneous agent populations can model the diverse stakeholders and objectives inherent in healthcare environments.
We explore agent architectures capable of representing various healthcare entities—from individual care providers to departments and institutions—and study emergent coordination patterns that arise through evolutionary processes. This research focuses on several critical healthcare applications, including resource scheduling optimization, clinical decision support, patient monitoring networks, and pandemic response modeling.
By leveraging the adaptive capabilities of EMAS, our research aims to develop systems that can respond to the dynamic, uncertain nature of healthcare environments while maintaining robustness, transparency, and ethical considerations essential to this domain. This work represents an interdisciplinary effort combining principles from artificial intelligence, healthcare operations research, and clinical workflow analysis to create agent-based systems that augment human capabilities rather than replacing them.
