This book embodies principles and applications of advanced soft computing approaches in engineering, healthcare and allied domains directed toward the researchers aspiring to learn and apply intelligent data analytics techniques. The first part covers AI, machine learning and data analytics tools and techniques and their applications to the class of several hospital and health real-life problems. In the later part, the applications of AI, ML and data analytics shall be covered over the wide variety of applications in hospital, health, engineering and/or applied sciences such as the clinical services, medical image analysis, management support, quality analysis, bioinformatics, device analysis and operations. The book presents knowledge of experts in the form of chapters with the objective to introduce the theme of intelligent data analytics and discusses associated theoretical applications. At last, it presents simulation codes for the problems included in the book for better understanding for beginners.

Dr Nuzhat Fatema has 10 years of experience in intelligent data analytics using AI & Machine learning for hospital and health care management. Dr. Fatema is the Co-founder of the Intelligent Prognostic Private Limited. Dr Fatema speaks nationally and internationally about the importance and power of data in hospital and healthcare systems.Dr. Fatema a BAMS graduated from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, India. She has cured many patients with her skills of medicinal knowledge. Later to go beyond the clinical skills, she has achieved post-graduation in hospital management from International Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR), Delhi. This was the platform where she has utilized her clinical skills with her managerial skills using artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Data Analytics. She has worked as a research associate at National Board of Examinations (NBE) India and dealt with the accreditation process for post graduate courses in different multi-specialty hospitals in the country. She has authored one book describing a trouble free tool prepared by using different standardized manuals of medicines in different countries for usage of the most complicated drug like Warfarin. She has published several research papers in renowned international journals and conferences. Presently she is associated with Singapore Polyclinic, Singapore.Her area of interest is AI, ML and intelligent data analytics application in healthcare, monitoring, prediction, forecasting, detection & diagnosis where she believes that it's a data driven world with stockpile of database in the industry which is to be used to extract value to make better informed, more accurate decisions in diagnosis, management and better outcomes in industry care. Simply throwing the numbers by analyzing any data has zero value; therefore she has produced narratives using data for decision making. She has been doing research study by spotting patterns in data and setting up infrastructure in the real-time industrial monitoring domain.
