In real-life problems, there are many critical parameters that can directly or indirectly affect the consequences of different decisions. The application of multi-criteria decision-making theory involves the use of computational methods that incorporate several criteria and orders of preference in evaluating and selecting the best option among many alternatives based on the desired outcome. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) theory is applied to different fields to obtain an optimum solution to a problem where there are many criteria to consider which cannot be decided by the users'/experts' experiences. The application gives a ranking result based on the selected criteria, their corresponding values, and assigned weights.

The application of MCDM in healthcare plays a crucial role in the current era of the field. The purpose of the analytical MCDM methods is to support decision makers under uncertainty and conflicting criteria while making logical decisions. These emerging technologies in medical applications will have benefits for researchers, physicians/clinicians, healthcare managers, and consultants.

This Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles describing applications of MCDM methods in solving problems related to healthcare. The Issue will focus on assisting decision makers (government, organizations, companies, hospitals, general public, etc.) in making the best and most appropriate decision when confronted with multiple alternatives.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Fuzzy logic-based decision-making methods in healthcare
• Multi-criteria decision-making applications for cancer treatment techniques
• Multi-criteria decision-making applications for choosing medical devices
• Multi-criteria decision-making for cancer diagnosis techniques
• PROMETHEE, TOPSIS, ELECTRE, AHP, and VIKOR analysis for healthcare decision-making problems
