Abstract

Dear Readers,
special issue of the journal is devoted to the usage of information technologies, systems analysis and modeling in Medicine. This research area has been actively developing for the past three decades. The issue includes articles written by scientists and researchers of Voronezh Institute of High Technologies (Russia) in collaboration with scientists of the Paneuropean University (Slovakia). The subject of the above mentioned articles is related to the study of the following questions:
– development of information systems for intellectual support of physicians of various specializations, based on the original models and algorithms of differential diagnostics, prediction and selection of the optimal treatment strategy;
– development of medical training systems;
– disease risk assessment and prediction of a patient health condition by health and social risk factors;
– solutions to the problem of pattern recognition in medical information systems of decision-making support;
– intellectualization of medical monitoring systems based on the use of classification and predictive modeling and geoinformational technologies;
– development of medical information systems with the appliance unconventional health promotion technologies;
– development of linguistic tools of intellectual support for making medical decisions based on simulation and semantic modeling;
– development of the human body state assessment methods based on the study of the electrical characteristics of the skin.
We hope that the published articles will attract interest of young researchers as well as recognized authorities in the field of information technology in medical studies.
