Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

AI has advanced significantly in the past ten years, offering great potential to revolutionize the healthcare system. AI can be applied to various aspects of healthcare, such as disease detection and diagnosis, prognosis prediction, pre-treatment analysis, post-treatment evaluation, pandemic monitoring, and more.

However, AI still faces many challenges in medical applications and requires further development to meet the demands of real health scenarios. One of these challenges is that the performance of healthcare AI systems often needs to meet real-world needs. Therefore, enhancing the performance of healthcare AI systems is a crucial issue. In order to address this issue, conducting in-depth research on key technologies within the various subsystems employed in healthcare AI systems is essential and necessary.

This Special Issue aims to attract high-quality papers on AI in healthcare and address the complex challenges that arise within the context of healthcare applications. The Special Issue's focus spans various fields, such as machine learning, medical image processing, pattern recognition, and others. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Intelligent medical systems
  • Machine learning for medical applications
  • AI for medical image analysis
  • AI-powered patient monitoring systems.
  • AI for prognosis prediction
  • AI for patient care safety, quality, and research
  • AI for pandemic monitoring
  • AI for disease detection and Diagnosis

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.

This study develops a 7-layer Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to enhance early diabetes detection in Oman, aligning with the theme of ‘Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare’. The model focuses on addressing the increasing prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, projected to impact 23.8% of Oman’s population by 2050. It employs LSTM neural networks to manage factors contributing to this rise, including obesity and genetic predispositions, and aims to bridge the gap in public health awareness and prevention. The model’s performance is evaluated through various metrics. It achieves an accuracy of 99.40%, specificity and sensitivity of 100% for positive cases, a recall of 99.34% for negative cases, an F1 score of 96.24%, and an AUC score of 94.51%. These metrics indicate the model’s capability in diabetes detection. The implementation of this LSTM model in Oman’s healthcare system is proposed to enhance early detection and prevention of diabetes. This approach reflects an application of AI in addressing a significant health concern, with potential implications for similar healthcare challenges relating to globally diagnostic capabilities, representing a significant leap forward in healthcare technology in Oman.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been recently introduced into clinical dentistry, and it has assisted professionals in analyzing medical data with unprecedented speed and an accuracy level comparable to humans. With the help of AI, meaningful information can be extracted from dental databases, especially dental radiographs, to devise machine learning (a subset of AI) models. This study focuses on models that can diagnose and assist with clinical conditions such as oral cancers, early childhood caries, deciduous teeth numbering, periodontal bone loss, cysts, peri-implantitis, osteoporosis, locating minor apical foramen, orthodontic landmark identification, temporomandibular joint disorders, and more. The aim of the authors was to outline by means of a review the state-of-the-art applications of AI technologies in several dental subfields and to discuss the efficacy of machine learning algorithms, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), among different types of patients, such as pediatric cases, that were neglected by previous reviews. They performed an electronic search in PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Medline to locate relevant articles. They concluded that even though clinicians encounter challenges in implementing AI technologies, such as data management, limited processing capabilities, and biased outcomes, they have observed positive results, such as decreased diagnosis costs and time, as well as early cancer detection. Thus, further research and development should be considered to address the existing complications. Full article
