From the Back Cover
This book discusses the advancements in artificial intelligent techniques used in the well-being of human healthcare. It details the techniques used in collection, storage and analysis of data and their usage in different healthcare solutions. It also discusses the techniques of predictive analysis in early diagnosis of critical diseases. The edited book is divided into four parts - part A discusses introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning in healthcare; part B highlights different analytical techniques used in healthcare; part C provides various security and privacy mechanisms used in healthcare; and finally, part D exemplifies different tools used in visualization and data analytics.
