Swarm Intelligence and Machine Learning: Applications in Healthcare

Today the healthcare sector is facing challenges such as detecting the cause of ailments, disease prevention, high operating costs, availability of skilled technicians and infrastructure bottlenecks. Intelligent healthcare management technologies are needed to manage these challenges. Healthcare organizations also need to continuously discover useful and actionable knowledge to gain insight from tons of data being generated for saving lives, reducing medical errors, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs and making the whole world a healthy place.

The book introduces techniques that developed using machine learning along with swarm intelligence in healthcare informatics. It also discusses one of the major applications of artificial intelligence: using machine learning to extract useful information from multimodal data optimally by using swarm intelligence. It reviews optimization methods that help to minimize the error in developing patterns and classifications, which further helps improve prediction and decision-making. The objective of this book is to use swarm intelligence and machine learning techniques for various medical issues such as diagnosing cancer, brain tumor, diabetic retinopathy, heart diseases as well as drug design and development. The book will act as one-stop reference to think and explore swarm intelligence and machine learning algorithms seriously for real-time patient diagnosis.

如今，醫療保健行業面臨著許多挑戰，例如發現疾病原因、疾病預防、高昂的運營成本、技術人員和基礎設施瓶頸的可用性。智能醫療管理技術是應對這些挑戰的必要手段。醫療機構還需要不斷發現有用且可操作的知識，以從大量生成的數據中獲得洞察，以拯救生命、減少醫療錯誤、提高效率、降低成本，使整個世界變得更健康。

該書介紹了在醫療信息學中使用機器學習和群體智能發展的技術。它還討論了人工智能的一個主要應用：使用機器學習和群體智能從多模態數據中最佳地提取有用信息。它回顧了幫助減少模式和分類開發中的錯誤的優化方法，進一步有助於改善預測和決策。該書的目標是利用群體智能和機器學習技術解決各種醫療問題，如診斷癌症、腦腫瘤、糖尿病視網膜病變、心臟疾病以及藥物設計和開發。該書將作為一站式參考，嚴肅地思考和探索群體智能和機器學習算法在實時患者診斷中的應用。
