Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping digital health, offering new possibilities for healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. In this Special Issue of Applied Sciences, we explore the latest research and challenges at the intersection of AI and digital health.
We explore how AI is transforming healthcare, from personalized treatment strategies to remote patient monitoring, predictive analytics, and patient self-management. Contributions cover various topics:
- AI-enabled Diagnostic Tools: Advances in AI-driven diagnostic tools encompass tools for interpreting medical images and analyzing the correlation of diverse medical data, including lab results, historical patient data, and medical images, thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
- Remote Patient Monitoring: Innovations in remote patient monitoring systems with AI capabilities for continuous health surveillance and early warning detection.
- Predictive Analytics and Prognostic Models: Exploration of AI-driven predictive analytics for forecasting disease progression and optimizing treatment strategies.
- Healthcare Workflow Optimization: Investigations into AI solutions for streamlining healthcare workflows and improving operational efficiency.
- Patient Self-Management: Advances in AI-driven tools empowering patients to actively manage their health through personalized interventions, lifestyle recommendations, and treatment adherence support.
- Ethical and Regulatory Considerations: Reflections on ethical and regulatory challenges related to AI integration in healthcare.
Original work highlighting the latest research and technical development is encouraged, but review papers and comparative studies are also welcome.
