Healthcare Recommender Systems: Techniques and Recent Developments

The book explores the complete system perspective, underlying theories, modelling, and the applications of pattern recognition in Healthcare Recommender System. Considering the interest of researchers and academicians, editors here aim to present this book in a multidimensional perspective that will be covering Healthcare Recommender Systems in depth, considering pattern recognition techniques using amalgamation of emerging technologies. It aims to cover all topics ranging from discussion of recommender system to efficient management to recent research challenges and issues. Editors aim to present the book in a self-sufficient manner and in order to achieve this, the book has been organized into various chapters.

The prime focus of the book is to explore the various issues, challenges, and research directions of pattern recognition in Healthcare Recommender Systems. The table of contents is designed in a manner so as to provide the reader with a broad list of its applications. Additionally, the book addresses the transformations in the area of Healthcare Recommender Systems. Thus, the book plans to discuss the recent research trends and advanced topics in the field of healthcare automation system which will be of interest to industry experts, academicians and researchers working in this area. Hence, the editors aim is to cover diversity in the domain while achieving completeness.
