Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is rapidly expanding and promises to initialize a revolution in patient care and the management of health services. Users’ reactions to the innovations in this area are two-fold: some reservations (e.g., data protection, limited transparency, and a lack of knowledge) are still slowing down the process of AI implementation, while various early adopters of many disciplines (e.g., radiology and surgical pathology) have been fast to find new solutions in diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and management. AI innovations in the health domain promise to lead to more precise medical interventions and applications, improved health outcomes, and greater efficiency in management and allocation.
This Special Issue focuses on the current state of knowledge regarding the nexus of artificial intelligence application and health services research. Subthemes may include the use of aggregated big data, new eHealth applications, or the targeting of vulnerable groups via special assistive robotics, as well as quality and risk management. New original research papers, reviews, and case series, using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, are welcome contributions. Methodological papers dealing with new theoretical approaches are also appreciated if they have a practical focus on healthcare improvement.
We welcome manuscripts from different disciplines, including medical technology, medicine, health services research, implementation science, psychology, behavioral sciences, epidemiology, sociology, medical computer science, biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, medical physics, and medical ethics.
