Summary
Over the last couple of decades, the world has shifted its attention towards smart decision making and automation of various day to day activities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is considered as a primary reason for such automations and advancements. Healthcare is one of the prominent domains that lays emphasis on technology advancements and its fullest utilization across various applications. Hence, it is no wonder that healthcare domain has embraced AI to develop smart applications, devices and intelligent healthcare systems Such healthcare intelligence enabled systems paves way for better healthcare solutions and enhances the patient satisfaction quotient while at the same time offloads a major portion of challenging work performed by healthcare professionals. While it is known that Artificial Intelligence is a confluence of several technology enablers such as machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, data analytics, smart image and signal processing, statistics, robotics, IoT etc., deep learning and computer vision are considered as major contributors along with IoT.
Deep Learning (DL) is an advanced class of Machine Learning (ML) that uses multi layered neural networks that are capable of analyzing the input data and making decisions much similar to the way human brain does. DL finds its use across several applications ranging from simple virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles, translators, smart chatbots, personalized entertainment, shopping etc., to advanced health care solutions such as cancer analysis, gene sequence analysis, disease diagnosis and prediction, brain tumor diagnosis etc.
Computer Vision (CV) is predominantly used for analyzing data which is in the form of images or videos. When considered for healthcare domain, computer vision has a plethora of opportunities and is mainly used for medical image analysis of MRIs, X-Rays, CAT scans etc. CV thus reduces the effort of healthcare professionals in analyzing these images which are most commonly analyzed for diagnosing and treating diseases like Cancer, Brain tumor and disorder, chest infections, COVID-19 Sars2, Cognitive disorders, etc.
This special issue is focused towards providing an ambient platform for the researchers and practitioners to exchange their innovative and novel ideas pertaining to the use of DL and CV to impart intelligence across healthcare domain and to promote development of automated and smart healthcare applications.
