The book covers two important regions: Gulf Region (Bahrein, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and UAE) and Asia, and explores how these countries develop policies for healthy aging and how digital tools can serve these goals.
This book delivers a collection of relevant, innovative research works on digital healthcare, with four main goals: (1) to cover two geographical regions (Asia and Gulf Region) with important advances in digital healthcare; (2) to present case studies in the field of IT and digital health during the pandemic and analyze the lessons from these studies; (3) to evaluate the latest advances in the field of digital healthcare (especially Artificial Intelligence [AI], Big Data, Blockchain, and 5G); and (4) to discuss implications for main stakeholders (patients, doctors, IT experts, directors, and policy managers) and recommendations for policy makers in these two regions and elsewhere.
- Delivers relevant case studies and experiences on digital healthcare from Asia and Gulf Region, covering important advances in digital healthcare
- Provides recommendations for policy makers in Asia, the Gulf Region, and around the world
- Discusses implications for main stakeholders (i.e., patients, doctors, IT experts, directors, and policy managers) and recommendations for policy makers in these two regions and elsewhere
- Investigates the interplay of several important research areas (e.g., digital healthcare, 5G, AI, Big Data, and Blockchain) with an emphasis on healthy aging
Researchers, scientists, and academics in the field of information technologies, frontier research (epidemiology, immunology, virology and other relevant scientific disciplines) and medicine as well as policymakers.
