AI, Numerical Optimization, IoT and Blockchain for Healthcare 4.0

The healthcare sphere is becoming more interconnected, intelligent and data driven. The management of healthcare data - and developments in the devices, technologies and systems used to obtain, interpret, store and access it - is a key theme for many researchers in healthcare and technology fields. Sensors and IoT devices are increasingly used to obtain better information about patients' health, machine learning and numerical optimization techniques are being deployed in interpreting medical information, and secure healthcare records and telemedicine approaches are needed to enable clinicians and patients to access data remotely. All these technological advances fall under the umbrella term of Healthcare 4.0.
