Owing to the growing interest in the application of agent-based systems in health care, a number of applications addressing clinical problems are already based on agent technology. Current topics of research include personalized health systems for remote and autonomous tele-assistance, communication, and co-operationbetweendistributedintelligentagentstomanagepatientcare,information agents that retrieve medical information from distributed repositories, intelligent and distributed data mining, and multi-agent systems that assist the doctors in the tasks of monitoring, decision support, and diagnosis. Several methodological and technical problems have been discovered by researchers who attempt to deploy agent-based systemsinthemedicalarea;justtonameafew,thegrowingnumberofhugedatabases that need to be integrated (e.g., genetic data from next-generation sequencing), the difficultytointegratenewagent-basedsystemswithlegacysoftware,theneedtoapply changing national and international laws and regulations concerning the privacy of medicaldata,andthesecurityofthetransactionofpatientinformationbetweenagents. In 2017, these topics were discussed in two major workshops: 1. The10theditionoftheWorkshoponAgentsAppliedinHealthCare(A2HC2017) hostedatAAMAS2017,the16thInternationalConferenceonAutonomousAgents and Multiagent Systems, which took place in São Paulo, Brazil on May 8, 2017 2. WorkshoponAgentsandMulti-agentSystemsforAALande-Health(A-HEALTH 2017) hosted at PAAMS 2017, the 15th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, which took place in Porto, Portugal, during June 21, 2017 For the 2017 edition of the two workshops, we received a total of 16 submissions, fromwhichweselectednineforpresentation(near55%acceptance).Thisproceedings joint volume gathers peer-reviewed extended versions of selected papers presented at these workshops. Wearedeeplygratefultoalltheparticipantsfortheirlivelycontributionduringthe presentation of the papers and during the general discussion about the challenges that the application of agent technology in the health-care field faces. We are also very grateful to all the members of the Program Committee for their hard work. A special thanks goes to Juan Antonio Rodríguez Aguilar (IIIA-CSIC, Spain) and Gita Sukthankar (University of Central Florida, USA) for their work as AAMAS 2017 VI Preface workshop chairs. Finally, a sincere thanks to the co-organizers of the workshops: Márcia Ito for managing the local organization of A2HC, Daniel Castro Silvia for his valuable work in the review phase, Eloisa Vargiu and Kasper Hallenborg for sup- porting us in various phases of the workshop organization.
