NEW BOOK/EBOOK! Congratulations to Book Editors, Munish Sabharwal, Balamurugan Balusamy, S. Rakesh Kumar, N. Gayathri and Shakhzod Suvanov and to all the chapter contributors on the publication of this new IET Book: Applications of Artificial Intelligence in E-Healthcare Systems.

About the Book

Increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) is being deployed in many hospitals and healthcare settings to help improve health care service delivery. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) tools can help guide physicians with tasks such as diagnosis and detection of diseases and assisting with medical decision making.

This edited book outlines novel applications of AI in e-healthcare. It includes various real-time/offline applications and case studies in the field of e-Healthcare, such as image recognition tools for assisting with tuberculosis diagnosis from x-ray data, ML tools for cancer disease prediction, and visualisation techniques for predicting the outbreak and spread of Covid-19.

Heterogenous recurrent convolution neural networks for risk prediction in electronic healthcare record datasets are also reviewed.

Suitable for an audience of computer scientists and healthcare engineers, the main objective of this book is to demonstrate effective use of AI in healthcare by describing and promoting innovative case studies and finding the scope for improvement across healthcare services.
