Description

Intelligent Medicine: Fundamentals to Future Perspectives delves into the state-of-the-art materials and technologies that define the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare. The book explores the development of intelligent materials, medical equipment, and technologies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients, as well as prediction of disease and development of new therapeutic strategies. A range of technologies and techniques are covered from telemedicine and data mining and analysis, to surgical robots, implantable detection devices and organ-on-chips. The clinical translation and associated challenges of each are considered with a final look to trends and possible benefits for future use.

This is an innovative reference for researchers and academics in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, and artificial intelligence, as well as clinicians with an interest in intelligent biomaterials and technologies. This book may also appeal to industry R&D groups developing materials and technologies for intelligent medicine.
