Reconnoitering the Landscape of Edge Intelligence in Healthcare

The revolution in healthcare as well as demand for efficient real-time healthcare services are driving the progression of edge computing, AI-mediated techniques, deep learning, and IoT applications for healthcare industries and cloud computing. Edge computing helps to meet the demand for newer and more sophisticated healthcare systems that are more personalized and that match the speed of modern life. With applications of edge computing, automated intelligence and intuitions are incorporated into existing healthcare analysis tools for identifying, forecasting, and preventing high-risk diseases.Reconnoitering the Landscape of Edge Intelligence in Healthcare provides comprehensive research on edge intelligence technology with the emphasis on application in the healthcare industry. It covers all the various areas of edge intelligence for data analysis in healthcare, looking at the emerging technologies such as AI-based techniques, machine learning, IoT, cloud computing, and deep learning with illustrations of the design, implementation, and management of smart and intelligent healthcare systems.Chapters showcase the advantages and highlights of the adoption of the intelligent edge models toward smart healthcare infrastructure. The book also addresses the increased need for a high level of medical data security while transferring real-time data to cloud-based architecture, a matter of prime concern for both patient and doctor. Topics include edge intelligence for wearable sensor technologies and their applications for health monitoring, the various edge computing techniques for disease prediction, e-health services and e-security solutions through IoT devices that aim to improve the quality of care for transgender patients, smart technology in ambient assisted living, the role of edge intelligence in limiting virus spread during pandemics, neuroscience in decoding and analysis of visual perception from the neural patterns and visual image reconstruction, and more.The technology addressed include energy aware cross-layer routing protocol (ECRP), OMKELM-IDS technique, graphical user interface (GUI), IOST (an ultra-fast, decentralized blockchain platform), etc.This volume will be helpful to engineering students, research scholars, and manufacturing industry professionals in the fields of engineering applications initiatives on AI, machine learning, and deep learning techniques for edge computing.
