Translational Bioinformatics Applications in Healthcare (Intelligent Signal Processing and Data Analysis)

Translational bioinformatics (TBI) involves development of storage, analytics, and advanced computational methods to harvest knowledge from voluminous biomedical and genomic data into 4P healthcare (proactive, predictive, preventive, and participatory). Translational Bioinformatics Applications in Healthcare offers a detailed overview on concepts of TBI, biological and clinical databases, clinical informatics, and pertinent real-case applications. It further illustrates recent advancements, tools, techniques, and applications of TBI in healthcare, including Internet of Things (IoT) potential, toxin databases, medical image analysis and telemedicine applications, analytics of COVID-19 CT images, viroinformatics and viral diseases, and COVID-19–related research.

• Covers recent technologies such as Blockchain, IoT, and Big data analytics in bioinformatics
• Presents the role of translational bioinformatic methods in the field of viroinformatics, as well as in drug development and repurposing
• Includes translational healthcare and NGS for clinical applications
• Illustrates translational medicine systems and their applications in better healthcare
• Explores medical image analysis with focus on CT images and novel coronavirus disease detection

Aimed at researchers and graduate students in computational biology, data mining and knowledge discovery, algorithms and complexity, and interdisciplinary fields of studies, including bioinformatics, health-informatics, biostatistics, biomedical engineering, and viroinformatics.
