AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a major impact on healthcare. While advances in the sharing and analysis of medical data result in better and earlier diagnoses and more patient-tailored treatments, data management is also affected by trends such as increased patient-centricity (with shared decision making), self-care (e.g., using wearables), and integrated care delivery. The way in which health services are delivered is being revolutionized through the sharing and integration of health data across organizational boundaries. Via AI, researchers can provide new approaches to merge, analyze, and process complex data and gain more actionable insights, understanding, and knowledge at an individual and population level. This Special Issue focuses on how AI is used in healthcare, and on related topics such as data management, data integration, data sharing, patient privacy and bioethical issues.
