Motivation:
In the recent years, Computational and Artificial Intelligence have been intensively used to improve patient care and to help doctors and health care professionals get better the quality and efficiency of services In this way, this field of application is strongly developing, covering many relevant sectors of medicine, from diagnostics to health, and from wellness to smart devices. AI is becoming a necessary “core” of all the new applications in medicine, due to the capacity of these models of learning not only from experience but also from data, in many cases the so called big data. For example, AI today is used in many applications for Health and Wellness, Medical Diagnosis and Prognosis, to study drug design and antibiotic resistance, to analyze Neuro and Medical images, to design Brain-Computer Interfaces and Electronic Health Records, the new Surgery Robotics and to make the Personalized Medicine.
Workshop Organization:
The workshop is organized by invitation to cover in the best way the areas of interest with original works or works published in prestigious international journals, with the aim to give a picture of the state of the art in models, problems and applications of AI in the most interesting areas of health and medicine. Speakers will illustrate relevant applications and the relate models and architectures presenting both original work and their recent published papers.
The first area of interest is that of Medical Imaging, varying from electron microscopy, to radiological and endoscopic images up to neuroimaging. A second area is regarding Bioinformatics and Computational Biology with applications in Translational Medicine. A third area is that involving Drug discovery and toxicity analysis. Other areas are those regarding the study of Big Data in Health.
Finally, Experts in medical devises illustrate the new problems and results obtained in this area with specific attention to smart devices (for example, lab-on-chip).
Invited Speakers are expected to register to AIIA 2019, the 18th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (https://aiia2019.mat.unical.it/).
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Health, Medicine, Bioinformatics, Biomedical Imaging
