| Sumario: | In this section, we introduce genetic algorithm (GA) and some of its applications in various health fields. Although GA and some other meta-heuristics are inspired by biology, they are more familiar to experts in other sciences, and these methods are often used to solve complex problems. The use of GAs has promising implications in various health specialities, including occupational health, environmental health, HSE, occupational medicine, industrial safety, ergonomics, toxicology, health care management, etc. This section of the book presents applications of GAs in disease screening, diagnosis, prognosis and health care management, and enables professionals to envision possible applications of this meta-heuristic method in their health professions. In the following, we discuss some applications of GAs in predicting, measuring and controlling factors that affect health. |
