 International Journal of Computational Medicine and Healthcare (IJCMH)
ISSN (Online): 1755-4519 - ISSN (Print): 1755-4500 Published in 4 issues per year (View Subscription Price) Today’s medical and healthcare systems have become increasingly computationally-intensive due to the demands of digital medical data and the rapid developments in IT technologies and methodologies. There exists a significant requirement for publications addressing translational and/or transformative scientific research in medicine and healthcare. IJCMH is a publication which meets these urgent needs. It processes research papers, reports of medical studies on medical scientific discoveries, innovative engineering design and applications for healthcare system improvement using data and computational systems at a large scale.
IJCMH provides opportunities for medical researchers, computational scientists, engineers, and other professionals to discuss computing and computational challenges issues, share successful computational algorithms, experiences of numerical and computing implementations, innovative computing solutions and computing infrastructure for medical research, clinical translational sciences, and leading-edge developments for present and future healthcare systems which make disease more preventable, illness more predictable, treatment more personalised, and operations more effective and efficient.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJCMH are to establish an effective forum and channel of communication between academic researchers, medical and healthcare professionals, industrial sectors and enterprise, research institutions and government agencies, and any professionals who work in medical and bioengineering areas within the community of medicine and healthcare science. It also aims to promote and coordinate future developments in the field of computational medicine and biomedical engineering. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural, national and global barriers, to meet the needs of accelerating medical and healthcare technologies, and to catalyse challenging problem-solving and innovative medical device research developments through computational impacts for today and tomorrow’s global healthcare deliveries. Readership
IJCMH provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers working in medical and engineering areas within the community of medicine and healthcare science to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. Contents
IJCMH publishes original scientific and/or research papers, review articles, technical reports and case studies. The journal will occasionally publish Special Issues devote to important topics within the area. . Subject Coverage
Computational medicine and healthcare is a multidisciplinary field, dealing with computing processes and algorithms, numerical methods and implementation, and numerical measurement in medical studies and healthcare practices. The area includes but is not limited to digital, medical, and healthcare data. It also covers mathematical modellling, simulations of physiological and biophysics phenomena ranging from human visualization, representation, computational thinking, artificial intelligence, and medical data mining to any transitional calculations in each specific medical domain.
Computation is an important connection to map different medical fields, as well as computer and information technologies for enhancing medical discoveries and healthcare improvement. It commonly covers large-scale computations such as high performance, distributed, and data intensive computing in medical and healthcare sciences, as well as clinical applications. It also links with many science and engineering applications and innovations, especially biological sciences and biomedical engineering sub-fields. Recently it has also connected to medical informatics such as bioinformatics, healthcare informatics, medical imaging informatics, nursing informatics, pathology informatics etc. using data mining, knowledge-based systems, artificial intelligence, neural networks, natural language processing, and other statistical approaches.
