Machine Learning and Deep Learning Applications in Healthcare

Dear Colleagues,

Deep learning is one of the research topics that attracts a lot of attention from healthcare system researchers. Compared to traditional machine learning methods, deep learning algorithms demonstrate their ability to train models from large datasets and images.

The computational capacity of deep learning models has enabled fast, accurate, and efficient operations in healthcare. Deep learning networks are transforming patient care and play a fundamental role in healthcare systems in clinical practice. Computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning are the most used deep learning techniques in healthcare. Moreover, these algorithms have significantly outperformed the performance of traditional methodologies for computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, and other fields.

This Special Issue on “Machine Learning and Deep Learning Applications in Healthcare” will focus on research works on the latest applications of deep learning in data analysis in different areas of healthcare research. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Healthcare data analytics;
• Medical imaging;
• Deep learning in time series processing;
• Biomedical diagnostic techniques;
• Personalized medical treatments;
• Predictive Modelling for Improving Healthcare;
• Medical decision support systems;
• Multimodal data processing and analysis for smart health;
• Medical systems based on big data and artificial intelligence;
• Artificial intelligence;
• Other related topics regarding healthcare, deep learning, and biomedical engineering.

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. 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.
