Tele-Healthcare: Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing Techniques

TELE-HEALTHCARE**This book elucidates all aspects of tele-healthcare which is the application of AI, soft computing, digital information, and communication technologies, to provide services remotely and manage one's healthcare.**

Throughout the world, there are huge developing crises with respect to healthcare workforce shortages, as well as a growing burden of chronic diseases. As a result, e-health has become one of the fastest-growing service areas in the medical sector. E-health supports and ensures the availability of proper healthcare, public health, and health education services at a distance and in remote places. For the sector to grow and meet the need of the marketplace, e-health applications have become one of the fastest growing areas of research. However, to grow at a larger scale requires the following:

1. The availability of user cases for the exact identification of problems that need to be visualized.
2. A well-supported market that can promote and adopt the e-health care concept.

3. Development of cost-effectiveness applications and technologies for successful implementation of e-health at a larger scale.

   This book mainly focuses on these three points for the development and implementation of e-health services globally.

   In this book the reader will find:

• Details of the challenges in promoting and implementing the telehealth industry.
• How to expand a globalized agenda of personalized telehealth in integrative medical treatment for disease diagnosis and its industrial transformation.
• How to design machine learning techniques for improving the tele-healthcare system.
