Introduction

This book presents use-cases of IoT, AI and Machine Learning (ML) for healthcare delivery and medical devices. It compiles 15 topics that discuss the applications, opportunities, and future trends of machine intelligence in the medical domain. The objective of the book is to demonstrate how these technologies can be used to keep patients safe and healthy and, at the same time, to empower physicians to deliver superior care.

Readers will be familiarized with core principles, algorithms, protocols, emerging trends, security problems, and the latest concepts in e-healthcare services. It also includes a quick overview of deep feed forward networks, regularization, optimization algorithms, convolutional networks, sequence modeling, practical methodology, and how they can be used to provide better solutions to healthcare related issues. The book is a timely update for basic and advanced readers in medicine, biomedical engineering, and computer science.

Key topics covered in the book:
