Abstract: In the last five years many research groups have applied agent technology to tackle problems in the health care domain. In the 15th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI‐2002), held in July 2002 in Lyon, there was a specialised workshop on this topic, in which 9 papers were accepted. This special issue contains extended versions of a selection of the papers presented at the workshop.
