Intelligence-Based Medicine: Artificial Intelligence and Human Cognition in Clinical Medicine and Healthcare

by Anthony C. Chang

Overview

Intelligence-Based Medicine: Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Human Cognition in Clinical Medicine and Healthcare provides a multidisciplinary and comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence concepts and methodologies with real life applications in healthcare and medicine. Authored by a senior physician-data scientist, the book presents an intellectual and academic interface between the medical and the data science domains that is symmetric and balanced.The content consists of basic concepts of artificial intelligence and its real-life applications in a myriad of medical areas as well as medical and surgical subspecialties. It brings section summaries to emphasize key concepts delineated in each section; mini-topics authored by world-renowned experts in the respective key areas for their personal perspective; and a compendium of practical resources, such as glossary, references, best articles, and top companies.The goal of the book is to inspire clinicians to embrace the artificial intelligence methodologies as well as to educate data scientists about the medical ecosystem, in order to create a transformational paradigm for healthcare and medicine by using this emerging new technology.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences)
Description: This book explores artificial intelligence and human cognition in clinical medicine and health care.
Purpose: The book is a compendium of the current thinking and future direction of integrating artificial intelligence in the healthcare system, with discussions of the history of artificial intelligence in general and in medicine; how the terminology has been evolving and will continue to evolve; the concept of assisted intelligence; and how, when used correctly, artificial intelligence potentially will make patient-physician interactions significantly better by allowing the machines to do the work and allowing physicians to focus on patients. The book is a major contribution to the understanding of how to use artificial intelligence properly. It outlines the benefits and potential frustrations if not used appropriately very well, and accurately highlights how the concept of artificial intelligence in medicine is currently going through a development stage and additional maturing must occur before in can be productively introduced into everyday medical practice.
Audience: The audience is vast, including researchers, software developers, medical leadership, thought leaders in medicine, and policymakers on all levels to understand that artificial intelligence in medicine is not a buzzword but a concept of great potential when it matures.
Features: The text is divided into four parts: an introduction to artificial intelligence; data science and artificial intelligence in the current era; the current era of artificial intelligence in medicine; and the future of artificial intelligence and application in medicine. Each part is subdivided into individual chapters examining specific concepts such as definitions, rule-based expert systems, healthcare data and Big Data, the data to intelligence continuum and artificial intelligence, machine and deep learning, blockchain, and cybersecurity. Each chapter is a self-contained essay addressing the concept under discussion with many vignettes to highlight the points of discussion.
Assessment: This is an outstanding, state-of-the-current-art-and-science of artificial intelligence in general and in medicine specifically. It is a highly valuable read for those who are just starting to become interested in the subject and for those with experience in artificial intelligence as the author has taken a very broad view and reduced it to manageable, focused pictures. The book is an extraordinarily valuable addition to every academic library.
