Aims and scope of TECH-2020
This TECH2020 workshop will run as part of the IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI): https://wcci2020.org/ as shown on list of WCCI accepted workshops.
The Evolutionary Computation for Healthcare workshop (TECH-2020) is multidisciplinary, bringing together AI and Healthcare researchers working in the fields of personalised medicine, medical devices; clinical diagnostics, and patient monitoring by applying advanced genetic and evolutionary computation techniques to address critical problems in digital healthcare and medical applications.
As the demand on health systems and hospitals worldwide becomes unsustainable, there has been an increasing interest in applying AI and novel approaches, such as evolutionary computation, to the next generation of healthcare solutions. As the mode of treatment turns from the hospital to the home, there has been a particular focus on AI for personalized medicine in the hope of improving patient care and reducing costs.
Online Workshop - due to Covid-19
The workshop will now be held online via Zoom meeting. The Zoom meeting link will be confirmed here before the start of the workshop.
