Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
A section of Healthcare (ISSN 2227-9032).
Section Information
The section Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare intends to promote the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical and healthcare fields. AI technologies are extensively applied to enhance efficacy in healthcare services and practices. These include support for patient care in diagnostics, prediction, treatment, monitoring, clinical decision-making, personalized medicine, robotic surgeries, etc. In addition, AI is integrated into healthcare systems to improve services, patient engagement, and hospital operations, such as appointment scheduling and medical data analysis. Submissions focused on the applications of AI in these areas are welcome, particularly in real-world clinical settings. Submissions outlining ethical concerns regarding the adoption of AI, such as data privacy and bias, are also encouraged.
