Transforming Healthcare with Language Models and Multimodal AI: From Theory to Practice

This special issue belongs to the section “Algorithms for Multidisciplinary Applications“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your latest research in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare to this Special Issue, “Transforming Healthcare with Language Models and Multimodal AI: From Theory to Practice”. This Special Issue explores the emerging applications of large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AI in healthcare, with particular emphasis on their integration into clinical workflows and decision support systems. We seek original research papers that investigate how these advanced AI technologies can enhance healthcare delivery while addressing associated challenges and opportunities. The Special Issue aims to showcase innovative approaches that leverage the latest advances in LLMs and multimodal AI to improve healthcare delivery. Studies demonstrating real-world impact through clinical trials or pilot implementations are highly encouraged. Submissions should emphasize both technical excellence and clinical relevance, with clear discussion of the potential benefits and limitations of proposed approaches.

Dr. Hao Liu
Guest Editor

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-blind 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.
