依據衛生署資料顯示，截至2010年底，65歲以上老年人口已占全國總人口比例10.74％，其中至少罹患一項以上之慢性病者高達88.7％，罹患慢性病的人口逐年增加且年齡層降低。慢性疾病之發生，通常與個人生活方式有關。國家衛生單位與醫療院所一般會提供衛教宣導，但礙於人力與資源的不足，相關自動化衛教機制內容過於制式化，民眾的接受度亦不高，成效略顯不彰。本研究為建構一移動式多代理人衛教系統，並針對糖尿病的偵測與預防來實做相關範例，所規劃之系統可下載安裝於IPHONE智慧型手機上。藉由多代理人的機制，可進行自我疾病風險檢測，提供衛教，監測病況並輔助用藥治療，以及訂定個人飲食、運動健康管理計畫等功能，透由與衛教資訊站的資源代理人互動，建立一個完善的衛教資訊網來交換資訊與共享資源。

According to the annual statistics of 2011 by Department of Health, the elderly of age 65 was more than 10.74% of all population in Taiwan. Moreover, the percentage of those who suffered from more than one chronic disease was also nearly 88.7%. Eventually the percentage of population with chronic illness increased gradually, even for the younger population. The prevalence of chronic diseases was assumed to be closely related with individual lifestyle such as smoking, obesity, improper diet, lack of exercise and so on. Although health administration and certain health care organizations provide several health education programs, probably by the lack of manpower and other resources, the general outcomes were not cost-effective. This empirical study was aimed at constructing a mobile multi-agent health education system for Diabetes mellitus patient in detection and prevention functions. The designed system could be easily downloaded and installed on so-called individual "Smart cellular phone". With multi-agent mechanism, it can be executed self detection of risk factors as well as provided health education programs with assisting medication, setting diet, exercises or health management, especially in monitoring the in-time condition. Then the system might be connected with other local health information work stations to establish a comprehensive health education platform or network in sharing health information.
