Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a result of its rapid expansion, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful tool serving numerous fields, including medicine. Its applications range from diagnostics to surgery, from drug development to rehabilitation, and from remote monitoring to patient assistance, continuing to grow exponentially.
Indeed, artificial intelligence in the medical field is now conceived as an aid to modern medicine. It is precisely in this scenario that technological tools and software used in the medical field are undergoing radical changes, with strong innovations to enable progressively early advanced diagnoses, increasingly personalized therapies, and to improve patients’ experience in general.
In the era of big data and omics sciences, global healthcare is in fact trying to move beyond the historical "one-size-fits-all" medical approach to embrace an increasingly personalized approach uniquely designed specifically for the patient, adopting each person's individual differences in genotype, environment, and lifestyle.
In recent years, there have been particularly tremendous advances in the applications of AI in a variety of omics studies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, radiomics, etc., and all multi-omics integration approaches. It is therefore highly timely to discuss the potential impact of the insights generated by new machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) technologies on medical support, clinical decisions, clinical research, the pharmaceutical industry, and the entire patient pathway, which seeks to be as personalized as possible.
From another perspective, large language models (LLMs), based on DL and trained on huge amounts of text data, allow for the generation of new information close to human responses, with the goal of producing virtual assistants and chatbots that provide personalized patient support, answer medical queries, schedule appointments, and offer basic triage services.
The goal of this Special Issue is therefore to collate articles highlighting the new opportunities, challenges, and perspectives of AI tools within precision medicine.
Both theoretical and experimental and case studies are welcome.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
