Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare is more than a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence as a tool in the generation and analysis of healthcare data. The book is split into two sections where the first section describes the current healthcare challenges and the rise of AI in this arena. The ten following chapters are written by specialists in each area, covering the whole healthcare ecosystem. First, the AI applications in drug design and drug development are presented followed by its applications in the field of cancer diagnostics, treatment and medical imaging. Subsequently, the application of AI in medical devices and surgery are covered as well as remote patient monitoring. Finally, the book dives into the topics of security, privacy, information sharing, health insurances and legal aspects of AI in healthcare.

"This book is overall a very complete and organized book that gives newly interested persons a look at AI and its applications. The first few chapters give readers a chance to get used to the vocabulary and give small but effective diagrams explaining often confused concepts such as machine learning versus deep learning. The first few chapters may be extremely dry if the readers are fairly familiar with AI. Therefore, I would recommend this book for readers who feel unsure of their foundation in AI. I would say of the books I have read on digital health in general, this book is more focused. If you compare to Data Pulse: A Brief Tour of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Marcetich (New Degree Press, 2020) or Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again, Topal (Basic Books, 2019), both put a focus on challenges of AI, whereas this book has a large focus on the opportunities and covers them in great detail." --Doody Reviews
