We consider the deep venous thrombosis (DVT) as case study for the specification and implementation of a multi-agent system. The DVT is an application with low clinical accuracy, needing objective tests, some of them satisfactorily accurate in experienced hands and others more definite but invasive. Whether one or more decision makers are involved in this activity is a matter of context, but the main events are decided by a process that has in itself some forms of argumentation. Our approach is an argumentative multi-agent system specified by rules capturing various roles in the diagnosis activity. Although the DVT scenario is a real one, more aspects of health care than the ones presented in this paper can conveniently be accommodated in this framework by extending the set of roles and refining the set of rules.
