Speech Title: Artificial Intelligence Technology in Smart Healthcare Systems

Abstract 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is devoted to create intelligent computer software and hardware that imitates the human mind. The main goal of AI technology is to make computers smarter by creating software that will allow a computer to mimic some of the functions of the human brain in selected applications. Advances in AI paradigms and smart healthcare  systems (SHS) domains highlight the need for ICT systems that aim not only in the improvement of human’s quality of life but at their safety too. SHS are intelligent systems and based on the concepts, methodologies and theories of many sciences, e.g. artificial intelligence, data science, social science, information science, computer science, cognitive sciences, behavioral science, life sciences and healthcare. The well-known smart healthcare paradigms  are; Real-time monitoring devices, Computer-aided surgery devices,  Telemedicine devices, Population-based care devices , Personalized medicine from a machine learning perspective, Ubiquities  intelligent computing, Expert decision support systems, and Health 2.0 .and Internet of Things (IoT).                                                                                                               

 On the other side , AI can support many tasks and  domians ,e.g.  law, education , healthcare , economy ,bussines , life sciences ,environment ,energy and military applications.. All of these applications employ knowledge base and inferencing techniques to solve problems or help make decisions in specific domains. This talk discusses the potential role of the AI paradigms, computational intelligence and machine learning techniques which are used in developing the SHS.. The talks focus on the  AI techniques, algorithms and methodologies and their potential usage in recent trends in developing  the  smart healthcare and bio-medical  systems. The following three paradigms are presented: (a) ontological engineering , (b) case-based reasoning , and (c) data mining and knowledg discovery.  Moreover the talk presents, the research results of the author and his colleagues that have been carried out in recent years@AIKE-Labs at Ain Shams University.
