Abstract

All over the world the health sector has to face serious challenges: aging population, increase of the care costs, new diseases, and increase incidence of chronic diseases, being the most important. There are new treatments, new medical technologies that can answer to some of these challenges, but often access to them is prohibited by the costs associated. An old proverb, attributed to Erasmus of Rotterdam says that "Prevention is better than cure". In our paper we are presenting a health portal - PRO VITA - designed to support education for a healthy life-style of the citizens of the district of Sibiu. In designing the portal we had considered, from the medical point of view, the fact that primary prevention starts with reduction of risk factors. From the technical point of view we took advantage of the opportunities offered by Web 2.0 services and technologies (web-based communities, wikis, blogs, social networks, RSS, LPWS- lifetime personal Web space, podcasts, Second Life, etc.), combined with the multi-agent paradigm.
