Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) are paving new paths in healthcare and pharmacy. The convergence of these technologies presents unique opportunities and challenges, from advancing patient care to creating effective medical learning systems. This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative research, experimental results, and novel applications of AR and AI in healthcare and pharmacy settings, from conceptualization to practical implementation.
Areas relevant to AR and AI in healthcare and pharmacy include, but are not limited to, patient care and health monitoring, AR-assisted surgeries, AI-enabled diagnostics and prognostics, AI-driven drug discovery and development, personalized medicine, health informatics, telemedicine, medical imaging, wearable health technologies, and virtual training for healthcare professionals. Additionally, we are interested in the advancements in hardware and software necessary to facilitate these applications, as well as in data management, privacy, and security aspects of these technologies.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers, in the overlapping fields of:
- Augmented reality in healthcare and pharmacy;
- Artificial intelligence in healthcare and pharmacy;
- Machine learning and deep learning applications in healthcare;
- Patient-centered applications and health monitoring;
- AR-assisted surgeries and diagnostics;
- AI-driven drug discovery and development;
- Personalized medicine and health informatics;
- Telemedicine and virtual training;
- Hardware and software solutions for AR/AI in healthcare;
- Data management, privacy, and security in healthcare technologies.
