Operational Research and Integrated Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Operational research is an analytical method of problem-solving and decision-making useful across all fields, including medicine. It allows for breaking down the essential components of problems followed by mathematical analysis of the defined steps. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence can ease the lives of patients, doctors, and hospital administration. Artificial intelligence has countless applications in healthcare. Whether it is being used to discover links between genetic codes, to power surgical robots, or even to maximize hospital efficiency, artificial intelligence has been a boon to the healthcare industry. The advent of big data has made possible the use of big data to create information necessary to improve the decision-making processes of healthcare challenges. With the constant need to solve complex problems, operational research and artificial intelligence have proven consistent in creating implementable solutions to these challenges. Our research group will be geared towards solving critical healthcare challenges by applying artificial intelligence and Decision Analysis to diseases diagnosis, therapeutics, treatment error reduction, disease treatment and management, automation of medical processes, symptoms checker, early cancer detection, and medical service delivery. The group's research is centered on utilizing multidisciplinary studies (mathematics, computer science, public health, biomedical engineering, and medicine) to address the development of a high-performance medical data collection system and artificial intelligence to aid in the effective quantitative modeling and the application of the advanced analytical approach to enhance decision-making targeting essentially all health sectors and utilizing multi-criteria models.

Our objective is to achieve our goals by assembling a team of exceptionally skilled researchers possessing extensive expertise in mathematical modeling, artificial intelligence, and decision analysis. Our team will focus on applying these interdisciplinary approaches to advance drug design and discovery, address rare diseases, enhance radiology and medical imaging techniques, optimize nutrition practices, and develop innovative methods for drug-resistant bacteria detection.
