Guest Editorial Trustworthy and Collaborative AI for Personalised Healthcare Through Edge-of-Things

From diagnosis to therapies, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has facilitated improvements in personalised healthcare applications. The evolution of AI in healthcare is closely related to the changes in the types and volumes of data which we need to deal with. The first generation of healthcare technologies, represented by the highly successful relational databases, are designed to handle structured data involving patient demographics, patient care, treatments, and outcomes of those treatments. Big Data platforms, which are representative of the current mainstream healthcare technologies, are built to process unstructured data from sources like electronic health records, medical imaging, genomic sequencing, and pharmaceutical research. The next generation of healthcare technologies will potentially be Edge-of-Things data, represented by massive amount of streaming data generated from Internet-of-Things frameworks, Cloud systems, and Edge computing platforms.
