Arguably medicine is either an arts-based science or a
science-based art. In medieval times, clinical decisions were based
on simple measures, such as the temperature of the body, the rhythm
of the pulse, the consistency of the stool and the colour of the
urine. Nowadays, thanks partly to modern technology, medical
science has improved in many ways, as has healthcare. In
particular, approaches which have their origins in Artificial
Intelligence and Operational Research have a significant
contribution to make in terms of improving not only diagnosis and
treatment of patients, but also providing ways of managing patients
in a more effective, more efficient, and more patient-friendly
manner. This book focuses on the use of such Intelligent Patient
Management to the benefit of clinicians, other healthcare and
community practitioners and managers, patients and carers.
