Abstract
Recent developments in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
bioinformatics have played a vital role in securing smart healthcare. Notable
contributions have been made in the field of viral immunology after the COVID-19
outbreak with the help of AI and bioinformatics. Various diseases and disorders such as
viral diseases, metabolic disorders, and genetic disorders require the application of AI
and bioinformatics to provide safe and error-free treatment. The tools of bioinformatics
and modern-day biology used for smart and secure health care include single-cell
genomics, proteomics, and next-generation sequencing technologies. During the
COVID-19 outbreak, AI and bioinformatics helped to create methods and services to
combat the pandemic. In this chapter, we elaborately highlight the principle, procedure,
and applications of AI equipped with bioinformatics knowledge to create opportunities,
and prospects and answer the challenges met by academicians, researchers, students,
and industry professionals from the background of computer science, bioinformatics,
and healthcare.
