Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful and disruptive area of computer science that has recently attracted considerable interest from healthcare stakeholders. AI applications in healthcare can potentially address key challenges in clinical practice and significantly enhance healthcare outcomes.
More specifically, AI is considered to improve personalized and predictive medicine, improve the decision-making process, assist more clinicians, and optimize resource allocation, providing cost-effective services.
Considering the rapidly evolving research landscape on AI systems for healthcare applications, this Special Issue aims to gather the latest efforts and insights from the research community actively engaged in this field.
We invite you to contribute to this special issue aimed at advancing research on AI systems for healthcare applications.
This Special Issue seeks to explore the current state of AI applications in healthcare while also examining future implications and challenges. We encourage contributions that encompass technical, experimental, methodological, and conceptual insights into AI for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- AI-driven decision support systems;
- AI-driven techniques to optimize clinical workflow;
- Machine learning and deep learning applications;
- Predictive and precision medicine based on AI analytical methods;
- AI and personalized medicine;
- AI-driven therapy and drug discovery;
- AI and assistive systems;
- AI-based monitoring and surveillance systems;
- Computer vision for clinical applications;
- AI for telemedicine and telerehabilitation;
- Natural language processing and AI agents;
- Data collection;
- Data security and privacy issues;
- Ethical challenges in AI (e.g., fairness, trustworthiness, transparency);
- Legislation and regulatory frameworks for AI in healthcare.
