A Context Aware Decision Making Algorithm for Human Centric Analytics: Algorithm Development and Use Cases for Health Informatics System
This reference demonstrates the development of a context aware decision-making health informatics system with the objective to automate the analysis of human centric wellness and assist medical decision-making in healthcare.
The book introduces readers to the basics of a clinical decision support system. This is followed by chapters that explain how to analyze healthcare data for anomaly detection and clinical correlations. The next two sections cover machine learning techniques for object detection and a case study for hemorrhage detection. These sections aim to expand the understanding of simple and advanced neural networks in health informatics. The authors also explore how machine learning model choices based on context can assist medical professionals in different scenarios.
Key Features :
-Reader-friendly format with clear headings introductions and summaries in each chapter
-Detailed references for readers who want to conduct further research
-Expert contributors providing authoritative knowledge on machine learning techniques and human-centric wellness
-Practical applications of data science in healthcare designed to solve problems and enhance patient wellbeing
-Deep learning use cases for different medical conditions including hemorrhages gallbladder stones and diabetic retinopathy
Demonstrations of fast and efficient CNN models with varying parameters such as Single shot detector R-CNN Mask R-CNN modified contrast enhancement and improved LSTM models.
This reference is intended as a primary resource for professionals researchers software developers and technicians working in healthcare informatics systems and medical diagnostics. It also serves as a supplementary resource for learners in bioinformatics biomedical engineering and medical informatics programs and anyone who requires technical knowledge about algorithms in medical decision support systems.

ASEP's Exercise Medicine Text for Exercise Physiologists
Watching TV surfing the Internet and sitting for long hours have replaced more active pursuits. Millions of Americans are simply not moving enough to meet the minimum threshold for good health and longevity. Exercise physiologists have researched and highlighted this fact for decades. That is why they emphasize the importance of regular exercise in the prevention of chronic diseases associated with physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Heart disease obesity type 2 diabetes high blood pressure stroke peripheral arterial disease depression several types of cancers and osteoporosis can be treated or even prevented with properly prescribed exercise. There is a need for integrating exercise physiology knowledge and rehabilitation programs as a continuous part of the healthcare profession. This opens up the opportunity for new approaches to manage patients suffering from chronic diseases and disabilities. ASEP’s Exercise Medicine Text for Exercise Physiologists is designed to educate exercise physiologists about the significance of professionalism in exercise physiology exercise medicine and entrepreneurship opportunities. It combines scientific principles with cardiovascular calculation steps that support its use in the development of safe well-rounded and individualized exercise programs to help clients and patients sleep better reduce stress maintain a healthy body weight keep bones strong and joints healthy decrease the risk for colon cancer and improve mental function. This textbook demonstrates the importance of exercise medicine and will familiarize readers with ASEP guidelines. Exercise physiologists in training will therefore be prepared for contributing a meaningful role in the healthcare services sector.
A Handbook of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the Interdisciplinary Perspective
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a genetic and neurological condition that compromises the academic performance of children. From an educational context knowledge about the cognitive-linguistic difficulties faced by these students can improve the academic and social quality life of affected children. This handbook presents an interdisciplinary perspective of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Educators and healthcare professionals can broaden their knowledge of the clinical and educational characteristics of students with ADHD. Topics covered in the handbook include the clinical features and genetics of ADHD educational guidelines on reading writing and learning processes and multidisciplinary interventions. Parents and teachers can apply the information in this handbook to assist children with ADHD in the classroom.
Foundations
Behavior problems are approaching epidemic levels in many schools and mental health issues in school-aged children is an international concern. Similarly parents caregivers and other concerned adults report behavioral disturbances in homes and in other settings despite the ongoing effort to ease access to mental health services.
Student mental health has also been demonstrated to have a direct impact on student behavior and performance. This book discusses methods by which educators can promote student mental health similar to the ways in which schools already promote physical health.
Promoting student mental health may mean doing things differently than are currently being done but does not involve doing more than what is already is being done. Professional educators counselors and readers interested in public mental health matters will greatly benefit from this book.
