Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Tariq Al Shanteer, CHSOS (Rocky Vista University)
Description: This book covers different computational intelligence that has been developed recently, including virtual reality and augmented reality, and how these technologies have changed the way computers are utilized in health care and education.
Purpose: The purpose is to introduce readers to new technology like virtual reality and augmented reality and describe different examples and utilization from health care and medical simulation; to show the different methods and research these technologies have helped based on evidence-based papers; to show the different algorithms that have been used in developing machine learning and fuzzy logic; and to present different examples about human factors and how this technology can take care of human health.
Audience: This book targets health professionals and researchers in addition to students, whether they are technology oriented or not. Each chapter targets different audiences and groups of people. I believe any professional in technology, health care, and healthcare education and simulation can take advantage of this book. The authors are academics so they are reliable, and the book has been written by different contributors from many backgrounds and knowledge bases, which brings a lot of diversity to the book in addition to different audiences.
Features: The first few chapters introduce readers to virtual reality technology and give real-world examples and pictures on utilization. Later, the book begins to target researchers by giving different examples using evidence-based methods on applying artificial intelligence and virtual reality on research.
Assessment: This book can be used by academics and practitioners as a reference in studying this technology. I would suggest updating the pictures and examples to be more inclusive of utilizing these technologies; however, in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning and virtual reality technology has been utilized more.
