Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues, Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing epidemiology, offering unprecedented tools for analyzing vast amounts of health data and generating previously unobtainable insights. These technologies enable the development of predictive models, improve disease surveillance, and optimize healthcare resource allocation. AI/ML approaches also encourage personalized healthcare by tailoring interventions based on individual risk factors and population-level trends, thus enhancing both prevention and treatment strategies.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that explore the innovative use of AI and ML in epidemiological research, with a particularly interest in how these methodologies can be leveraged to improve disease outbreak predictions, support public health decision making, and utilize both structured and unstructured data to achieve more precise health outcomes. Additionally, we welcome research that highlights the challenges, ethical considerations, and future directions in AI/ML integration in the field of epidemiology.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and advancing AI/ML applications, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the development of more effective, data-driven public health strategies essential for addressing current and emerging health challenges.
