Modelling and Simulation: Computational Intelligence in Medicine

Call for Papers

New computerized approaches to various problems have become critically important in healthcare. Mathematical information analysis, modelling, and computer simulation became standard tools underpinning the current rapid progress with developing computational intelligence. We are witnessing a radical change as technologies have been integrated into systems that address the core of medicine, including patient care in ambulatory and in-patient setting, disease prevention, health promotion, rehabilitation, and home care. Computational intelligence is in widespread use for the support of patient medical diagnosis and treatment, the assessment of the quality of care, and the enhancement of decision making, modelling, simulation, and medical research. A computerized support in the analysis of patient information and implementation of a computer-aided diagnosis and treatment systems, increases the objectivity of the analysis and speeds up the response to pathological changes. The objective of this special issue is to report some most recent developments and contributions in this direction.
