The book presents advancements in computational intelligence in perception with healthcare applications. Besides, the concepts, theory, and applications in various domains of healthcare systems including decision making in healthcare management, disease diagnosis, and electronic health records will be presented in a lucid manner. To achieve these objectives, both theoretical advances and its applications to healthcare problems will be stressed upon. This has been done to make the edited book more flexible and to stimulate further research interest in topics. The book is divided into four sections such as theoretical foundation of computational intelligence techniques, computational intelligence in analyzing health data, computational intelligence in electronic health record (EHR), and computational intelligence in ethical issues in health care.
