Medical practices have incorporated electronic communications and information technology into innovative concepts and services in order to ensure a higher quality healthcare system. Digital Advancements in Medicine, E-Health, and Communication Technologies explores the developments and trends in medical informatics and its approaches toward telemedicine and e-health applications. This comprehensive collection of research brings together academia and industry by highlighting recent advances in electronic health, medical communications and applications for e-health and medicine.

This up-to-date reference discusses important concepts of vehicular communication in intelligent transportation systems. Augmented Intelligence Toward Smart Vehicular Applications begins by discussing key objectives of intelligent transport systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). It then goes on to discuss challenges, applications and future trends in VANETs. The text focuses on the organization of artificial intelligence (AI) and aspects of deep learning algorithms, particularly multimodal transport. This book will serve as an ideal reference for graduate students and academic researchers in the field of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering and transportation engineering. Features In-depth coverage of Internet of Things (IoT) in vehicular applications Discussion on nn-vehicle sensor networks Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 Focus on the need of AI in smart vehicular applications Discussions on advanced concepts in the field of intelligent transport systems

The pursuit of quality has been a human endeavor since ancient times, which accelerated in the 20th Century in the industry through the vision and contributions of Shewart, Juran and Deming, who created the basis of disruptive innovations in science and technology, and contributed to the advance of industrial leadership in Japan. Quality became an essential component of industry, and has evolved with the emergence of new leaders like Feigenbaum, Crosby and Oakland. Garvin described that quality is measured from multiple perspectives, including manufacturers, payers and consumers. Albeit the practice of medicine has been considered an art beyond the scope of measurement or improvement, efforts to improve the quality of health care have also occurred. In the last three decades, a vibrant movement to improve the quality of health care has sprung up, under the leadership of the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia. This book delivers a comprehensive view, and an inviting approach to integrate its components and the challenges of measurement and innovative strategies of implementation, individual and social support.
