Scope

Recent computational intelligence (CI) revolution is changing the way we work, communicate, and conduct research. CI plays an important role in the advancement of health and medicine by analysing complex medical data for early disease detection and providing innovative technological solutions in diagnostic procedures, personalised medicine, and treatment planning.

As we are dealing with human health, the medical field requires high levels of accuracy and truthfulness. However, we are overwhelmed with the Big Data from the internet and other issues such as Large Language Model (LLM) hallucinations. Moreover, Computational Intelligence (CI) needs to be used with caution and with strict ethical guidelines in order to protect patients' rights and privacy. It is also essential that CI is used responsibly and ethically to ensure that it does not lead to biased outcomes. To address these and other challenges of CI, this symposium is dedicated to Computational Intelligence in Health and Medicine.

By focusing on the most recent advancements and uses of CI in Health and Medicine that are shaping the future of healthcare, this symposium aims to explore advancements in health research and clinical practice.

It is our goal to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas between scientists in CI and clinical experts in the healthcare field from diverse multidisciplinary backgrounds. We are seeking contributions that address either theoretical developments or practical applications in this field. The symposium welcomes contributions that present innovative research, as well as contributions that discuss the implications of existing research. We also encourage scientific works that examine current challenges, opportunities, and future directions for CI in healthcare.
