Health Informatics (HI) and Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in fighting COVID-19. For example, techniques can help develop vaccine & targeted drugs for COVID-19. In epidemiology, HI & AI can provide tracking and prediction of the spread of infected territories and areas. The visualization technology provides a global overview for policymakers. Deep learning methods are efficient in making fast and accurate diagnoses of COVID-19 using trained models, based on routine CT or X-ray. Wearable sensors can monitor abnormality for home-based mild COVID-19 patients. Human behavioral data can be analyzed to make better individual or community quarantine and social control policies. HI & AI can help predict the protein structures of the coronavirus. The emotional data in mental health can be utilized to help people to cope with self-quarantined people. This Special Section aims to invite original research papers that report the latest advances of medical images-based HI for COVID19. Submissions should clarify the substantive improvements on work that has already been published, accepted for publication, or submitted in parallel to other conferences or journals. |
Call for Papers |
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Researches on other diseases are welcome if the methods/techniques can be used in COVID19. |
