Health Information Science and Systems - Call for Papers: Exploring the Potential of Explainable AI in Improving Healthcare

Title:  Exploring the Potential of Explainable AI in Improving Healthcare

Introduction:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare industry by enabling more accurate diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and improved patient outcomes. However, the lack of transparency and interpretability of AI models has hindered its widespread adoption, particularly in healthcare where the need for trust and transparency is critical. Explainable AI (XAI) is a rapidly growing field that seeks to address this issue by making AI models more transparent and interpretable, enabling users to understand how the models make their predictions and recommendations. This special issue aims to explore the potential of XAI in improving healthcare decision-making and patient outcomes. The papers in this issue will provide insights into the applications, challenges, and opportunities for implementing XAI in healthcare and will contribute to the development of guidelines and best practices for its use.

We invite original research articles, review papers, and case studies that focus on the potential of XAI in healthcare decision-making and patient outcomes. All submissions must be written in English and follow the formatting guidelines of the journal. Submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and only high-quality papers that meet the standards of the journal will be accepted for publication.
