Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Biomedicine and Medical Informatics

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare and biomedicine, offering unprecedented solutions to long-standing challenges. This includes accelerating drug discovery by identifying potential compounds, enhancing medical imaging for more precise diagnostics, and enabling personalized medicine through tailored treatments based on individual data. AI also improves medical robotics for diagnoses, automates routine tasks for clinicians, facilitates biomarker identification, and optimizes hospital operations. Despite these advances, significant hurdles remain, such as reliance on limited, biased, and unlabeled datasets, critical privacy concerns leading to the creation of data silos, and the “black box” nature of many AI models hindering explainability and trust in clinical decision-making. Furthermore, evolving regulatory frameworks and issues of accountability and liability in AI applications require careful consideration. This Special Issue invites research addressing these complex issues (including AI applications) through theoretical advancements and practical implementations in areas focusing on, but not limited to, medical imaging, video medical analysis, robotics in biomedicine, non-invasive treatment, explainability of AI diagnoses, diverse AI algorithms in healthcare, AI-assisted drug discovery, life science research, data privacy, privacy-preserving data processing, and federated machine learning for healthcare.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
