Since the AI in healthcare is a comparatively new field, there exists a vacuum of literature in this field, especially applied to COVID-19. The area of AI in COVID-19 being quite young, the students and researchers usually face a struggle to rely on few published papers (which are obviously too specific) or white-papers by tech-giants (which are too wide). Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and COVID-19 bridges this gap and provide a comprehensive guide to the field, showcasing the theoretical concepts as well as the implementational and research perspectives of AI in healthcare to combat COVID-19.
Moreover, in the domain of Artificial Intelligence and COVID-19, a proper fusion of medical and technological perspectives is necessary, to create solutions in combating the pandemic issues. This book addresses this area by adding medical and technological visions at the same time, making it even more applied. With the advent of COVID-19, it is obvious that leading universities and medical schools need to include the topics and case studies of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and COVID-19 in their usual courses of health informatics, to keep up with the pace of technological and medical advancements. This book also serves professors teaching these courses. Also, there are industry practitioners and professionals, working in the R&D team of leading medical and informatics companies who are bound to embrace AI and eHealth to fight COVID-19. The lack of a comprehensive literature makes it a herculean task for them to get a one-stop holistic view of the field. This book will serve them too in a significant way.
