One of the more troubling aspects of global health is the growing gap in health outcomes and how many are due to social problems such as poverty, education, sanitation, housing, and government. These challenges are currently being considered by engineers and data analysts globally.

The Digital Revolution in Health

Jerome Beranger (Editor) and Roland Rizoulieres (Editor)

What sort of health system do we want to implement in the face of the imminent arrival of artificial intelligence and robotics in medical practices? The COVID-19 health crisis has demonstrated the importance of digital technologies in the care of patients and their families as imperative attention was called to ethics and relational practice.

Digital Health Communications

Benoit Cordelier (Editor) and Olivier Galibert (Editor)

There are many controversies with respect to health crisis management: the search for information on symptoms, misinformation on emerging treatments, massive use of collaborative tools by healthcare professionals and deployment of applications for tracking infected patients. The COVID-19 crisis is a relevant example of the need for research in digital communications in order to understand current health information communication.

Prognostics and Health Management: A Practical Approach to Improving System Reliability Using Condition-Based Data

Douglas Goodman, James P. Hofmeister, and Ferenc Szidarovszky

Written for system engineers working in critical process industries and automotive and aerospace designers, Prognostics and Health Management offers a guide to the application of condition-based data to produce signatures for input to predictive algorithms to produce prognostic estimates of functional health and life.

Healthcare Systems Engineering

Paul M. Griffin, Harriet B. Nembhard, Christopher J. DeFlitch, Nathaniel D. Bastian, Hyojung Kang and David A. Munoz

One of the first engineering books to cover this emerging field, this resource offers comprehensive coverage of the healthcare system, healthcare delivery, and healthcare systems modeling. Learn how to approach the healthcare industry as a complex system and apply relevant design and engineering principles and processes to advance improvements.

Using Predictive Analytics to Improve Healthcare Outcomes

John W. Nelson (Editor), Jayne Felgen (Co-Editor),  and Mary Ann Hozak (Co-Editor)

A comprehensive overview, from established leaders in the field, of how to use predictive analytics and other analytic methods for healthcare quality improvement. Using Predictive Analytics to Improve Healthcare Outcomes delivers a 16-step process to use predictive analytics to improve operations in the complex industry of healthcare. The book includes numerous case studies that make use of predictive analytics and other mathematical methodologies to save money and improve patient outcomes. It's organized as a “how-to” manual, showing how to use existing theory and tools to achieve desired positive outcomes.

Confidence and Legitimacy in Health Information and Communication

Ceiline Paganelli (Editor)

The question of trust is crucial in the field of health. First, because health is indicative of particularly strong issues at the societal, regulatory, institutional or individual levels; secondly, because the boundaries between specialized information validated by legitimate instances and uncommitted information have become permeable; finally, because it appears to be central within relations between actors in the field. In this book, we propose to address the trust in terms of the information and communication phenomena that are at work in the health sector and to look at the process of building the legitimacy of information in the health sector. 

New Territories in Health

Isabelle Pailliart (Editor)

Nine contributions based on the analysis of stakeholders on the relationship between health and territories. The authors, all specialists, offer original insights, enhanced by in-depth studies, on the multiple forms that this territorialization takes: political and institutional, professional and organizational, public and media.

Health Education and Prevention

Frank Pizon

Social representations, beliefs, values, and knowledge are just some of the aspects that affect how the beneficiaries of preventative health measures perceive their well-being. Health Education and Prevention questions and analyzes these concepts in order to consider new ways of theorizing patients’ conceptions of their health.

Introduction to Nanomedicine and Nanobioengineering

Paras N. Prasad

This book is an introduction to the emerging field of nanomedicine and its applications to health care. It describes the many multidisciplinary challenges facing nanomedicine and discusses the required collaboration between chemists, physicists, engineers, and clinicians. The book introduces the reader to nanomedicine's vast potential to improve and extend human life through the application of nanomaterials in diagnosis and treatment of disease.

IoT-enabled Smart Healthcare Systems, Services and Applications

Shalli Rani (Editor), Maheswar Rajagopal (Editor), Neeraj Kumar (Editor) and Syed Hassan Ahmed Shah (Editor)

New technologies such as machine learning, image processing, big data, remote monitoring, cloud computing, deep learning, and enhanced wireless communications are all improving and connecting modern healthcare services and products through IoT. Architecture, services, use cases, and data management will all be accessible from one connected platform in the future. This book starts with the foundations of IoT-enabled healthcare and delivers step-by-step guidance to enable engineers to implement different applications and understand a variety of use cases.

Intelligent Pervasive Computing Systems for Smarter Healthcare

Arun Kumar Sangaiah, S.P. Shantharajah, and Padma Theagarajan

This is a guide to intelligent decision and pervasive computing paradigms for healthcare analytics systems with a focus on the use of bio-sensors. The pervasive computing paradigm offers tremendous advantages in diversified areas of healthcare research and technology. The authors—noted experts in the field—provide the state-of-the-art intelligence paradigm that enables optimization of medical assessment for a healthy, authentic, safer, and more productive environment.

Healthcare System Access: Measurement, Inference, and Intervention

Nicoleta Serban

Healthcare System Access is an important resource that bridges two areas of research—access modeling and healthcare system engineering. The book’s mathematical modeling approach highlights fundamental approaches on measurement of and inference on healthcare access.
