Artificial Intelligence in Precision Health: From Concept to Applications provides a readily available resource to understand Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its real time applications in precision medicine in practice. Written by experts from different countries and with diverse background, the content encompasses accessible knowledge easily understandable for non-specialists in computer sciences. The book discusses topics such as cognitive computing and emotional intelligence, Big Data analysis, clinical decision support systems, Deep Learning, personal omics, digital health, predictive models, prediction of epidemics, drug discovery, precision nutrition and fitness. Additionally, there is a section dedicated to discuss and analyze AI products related to precision healthcare already available.

Computational approaches such as genetic algorithm, support vector machines, artificial neural network, decision trees, natural language processing, hybrid methods, cognitive computing, etc., introduced Artificial Intelligence (AI) into health care, which became a game changer in personalized medicine or precision health care in terms of time, cost, and personalization. Currently, several precision health-care approaches are based on AI. However, the end users like clinicians, practicing doctors, molecular diagnostic professionals, genetic counselors, clinics, and related industries are not much aware of these recent developments as the data are scattered in various domains. Further, few books are available, although some are old, which only deals with computational methods which are not helpful to the precision medicine professionals in decision-making.

To overcome these issues and fill the gap, the book Artificial Intelligence in Precision Health: From Concept to Applications is introduced, which can provide best possible understanding of AI and their real-time applications to non-computational biologists, clinicians, and precision health-care practitioners. This comprehensive reference book will (i) help in understanding the concept of AI, (ii) educate how the AI is used in precision medicine, and (iii) provide guidance to practicing doctors and clinicians, molecular diagnostic professionals, and genetic counselors on how to use AI-based products for decision-making in the field of precision health care.

This book is a valuable source for clinicians, healthcare workers, and researchers from diverse areas of biomedical field who may or may not have computational background and want to learn more about the innovative field of Artificial Intelligence for precision health.
