An Artificial Urban Healthcare System and Applications

Using an agent based modeling and simulation (ABMS) tool, an artificial urban healthcare system (HCS) platform can help make medical services more convenient and cost effective. Although China's living standards have significantly improved in the past few decades, the overall performance and coverage of healthcare services has not advanced as fast as the country's economic growth. Therefore, the reform and development of urban healthcare in China is of increasing concern.
