Intelligent Biomedical Technologies and Applications for Healthcare 5.0 (Volume 16)

Intelligent Biomedical Technologies and Applications for Healthcare 5.0, Volume Sixteen covers artificial health intelligence, biomedical image analysis, 5G, the Internet of Medical Things, intelligent healthcare systems, and extended health intelligence (EHI). This volume contains four sections. The focus of the first section is health data analytics and applications. The second section covers research on information exchange and knowledge sharing. The third section is on the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Everything (IoE)-based solutions. The final section focuses on the implementation, assessment, adoption, and management of healthcare informatics solutions. This new volume in the Advances in Ubiquitous Sensing Applications for Healthcare series focuses on innovative methods in the healthcare industry and will be useful for biomedical engineers, researchers, and students working in interdisciplinary fields of research. This volume bridges these newly developing technologies and the medical community in the rapidly developing healthcare world, introducing them to modern healthcare advances such as EHI and Smart Healthcare Systems.
