Manuscript Topics


The intersection of mathematical modeling, simulation, and artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance patient care, optimize resource allocation, and advance medical research. This special issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative applications that leverage these powerful tools to address pressing challenges in healthcare.


Mathematical modeling provides a framework for understanding complex biological systems and disease dynamics. By developing quantitative models, researchers can simulate the progression of diseases, predict outcomes, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. This issue seeks contributions that demonstrate the application of mathematical models to real-world healthcare problems, such as epidemiological modeling of infectious diseases, pharmacokinetic modeling for drug development, and physiological modeling for personalized medicine.


Simulation techniques play a crucial role in healthcare by enabling the testing and validation of hypotheses in a controlled environment. This issue welcomes papers that explore the use of simulation in healthcare settings, including agent-based modeling for healthcare systems, discrete event simulation for optimizing patient flow, and Monte Carlo simulations for risk assessment. These simulations can inform policy decisions, improve operational efficiency, and enhance patient safety.


Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning and deep learning, has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns, make predictions, and support decision-making processes. This special issue invites submissions that highlight the application of AI in healthcare, such as predictive analytics for disease diagnosis, natural language processing for electronic health records, and reinforcement learning for treatment optimization.


The convergence of these disciplines holds immense potential for addressing healthcare challenges. Collaborative efforts that integrate mathematical modeling, simulation, and AI can lead to more accurate and efficient healthcare solutions. This special issue encourages interdisciplinary research that combines these approaches to tackle complex healthcare problems, such as personalized treatment plans, early disease detection, and public health surveillance.


We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to submit original research articles, review papers, case studies, and perspective pieces that advance the field of mathematical modeling, simulation, and AI in healthcare. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


- Mathematical modeling of disease dynamics and epidemiology
- Simulation techniques for healthcare system optimization
- Diseases forecast models
- ‎AI-driven diagnostic and prognostic tools
- Optimization models for healthcare service procedures
- Integration of mathematical models and AI for personalized medicine
- ‎Robotic modeling in surgical procedures and healthcare services
- Ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks for AI in healthcare
- Case studies in mathematical modeling of healthcare procedures


By fostering dialogue and collaboration among experts in these fields, this special issue aims to accelerate the development and implementation of innovative solutions that improve healthcare outcomes and enhance the well-being of patients worldwide.
