Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence comprises applications of computer and information technologies to simulate human and biological intelligence or natural phenomena so as to assist human beings in exploring and monitoring environments, making decisions, identifying patterns, classifying objects, and so on. Recently, artificial intelligence applications have attracted a great deal of attention due to the rapid advances in computer, communication, and sensing technologies. Such advances are especially advantageous for solving problems in medical fields that involve big data, information heterogeneity, complicated cause-and-effect relationships, and other challenges. So far, the applications of artificial intelligence in medicine have considerably improved the quality, user satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency of medical and healthcare services.
This Special Issue aims to provide technical details of artificial intelligence in medicine. These details will hold great interest for researchers in artificial intelligence, medicine, healthcare, smart technology, quality technology, quantitative management, ambient intelligence, mobile commerce, operations research, system science, and information management, as well as for practicing managers and engineers. This Special Issue will feature a balance between state-of-the-art research and practical applications. This Special Issue also provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to review and disseminate quality research work on artificial intelligence applications to medical and healthcare and the critical issues for further development.

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. Healthcare is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
