Abstract

This paper presents an agent-based model for interacting with regional healthcare system services in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG) region. The model is designed to streamline and automate tasks traditionally managed through human intervention. We showcase its implementation on three key applications: booking medical appointments, identifying available emergency rooms, and performing question-and-answer (Q&A) interactions on medication leaflets. The system leverages autonomous agents to provide real-time responses, aiming to improve the overall performance of healthcare services.
