Tele-Healthcare: Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing Techniques

This book elucidates all aspects of tele-healthcare which is the application of AI, soft computing, digital information, and communication technologies, to provide services remotely and manage one's healthcare.

Throughout the world, there are huge developing crises with respect to healthcare workforce shortages, as well as a growing burden of chronic diseases. As a result, e-health has become one of the fastest-growing service areas in the medical sector. E-health supports and ensures the availability of proper healthcare, public health, and health education services at a distance and in remote places. For the sector to grow and meet the need of the marketplace, e-health applications have become one of the fastest growing areas of research. However, to grow at a larger scale requires the following:

1. The availability of user cases for the exact identification of problems that need to be visualized.
2. A well-supported market that can promote and adopt the e-health care concept.
3. Development of cost-effectiveness applications and technologies for successful implementation of e-health at a larger scale.

This book mainly focuses on these three points for the development and implementation of e-health services globally.

In this book the reader will find:

• Details of the challenges in promoting and implementing the telehealth industry.
• How to expand a globalized agenda of personalized telehealth in integrative medical treatment for disease diagnosis and its industrial transformation.
• How to design machine learning techniques for improving the tele-healthcare system.

Audience

Researchers and post-graduate students in biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, and information technology; medical doctors and practitioners and industry experts in the healthcare sector; healthcare sector network administrators.

「遠距醫療」這本書闡述了遠距醫療的各個方面，遠距醫療是指應用人工智慧、軟體運算、數位資訊和通訊技術，以遠程方式提供服務並管理個人的健康照護。

全球各地都面臨著醫療人力短缺和慢性疾病負擔日益增加的危機。因此，電子健康已成為醫療領域中增長最快的服務領域之一。電子健康支持並確保遠程地區提供適當的醫療、公共衛生和健康教育服務。為了使該領域能夠增長並滿足市場需求，電子健康應用已成為研究增長最快的領域之一。然而，要實現更大規模的增長，需要以下幾點：

1. 提供使用者案例，以確定需要視覺化的問題。
2. 建立良好支持的市場，以促進和採用電子健康概念。
3. 開發成本效益的應用和技術，以實現電子健康在更大規模上的成功實施。

本書主要關注這三點，以促進和實施全球範圍內的電子健康服務。

在本書中，讀者將找到以下內容：
- 推廣和實施遠距醫療行業所面臨的挑戰的詳細資訊。
- 如何在綜合醫療治療中擴展個人化遠距醫療的全球議程，以進行疾病診斷及其產業轉型。
- 如何設計機器學習技術，以改善遠距醫療系統。

目標讀者：
- 生物醫學工程、人工智慧和資訊技術的研究人員和研究生。
- 醫生、從業人員和醫療保健行業的專家。
- 醫療保健行業的網絡管理員。
