Dialearner: Predicting Diabetes with Machine Learning

Abstract

In the medical field, it is essential to predict diseases early to prevent them. Diabetes is one of the most dangerous diseases all over the world. In modern lifestyles, sugar and fat are typically present in our dietary habits, which have increased the risk of diabetes. To predict the disease, it is extremely important to understand its symptoms. Currently, machine-learning (ML) algorithms are valuable for disease detection. Diabetes, in all its types, costs countries of all income levels unacceptably enormous personal, societal, and economic expenses. The proposed system can help doctors to make data-driven decisions and enhance patients’ treatment. Several machine learning algorithms that are Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, k-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes are used. Evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score are utilized to assess the model\'s predictive capability. Cross-validation techniques are employed to ensure robustness and generalizability. The proposed model holds significant promise in facilitating early detection and intervention for individuals at risk of developing diabetes, thereby improving patient outcomes, and reducing healthcare burden. Future research directions may include incorporating additional features and exploring ensemble learning techniques to further enhance predictive accuracy and reliability.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

In the world of growing data, hospitals are deliberately adopting big data technologies. Early detection of diabetes is vital so that patients can take necessary actions at an early stage and potentially prevent or delay health complications such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and eye disease arise from diabetes. Early diagnosis of Diabetes diseases helps to minimize the risk of patients having more complex health issues and medical costs. To apply machine learning algorithms for diabetes prediction, a significant amount of medical and patient data is collected and preprocessed. This data may include patient demographics, medical history, genetic information, lifestyle Factors. The collected data is then split into training and testing sets. Machine learning models, such as SVM, KNN, Naive Bayes, and Random Forest, are trained on the training data and evaluated on the testing data using appropriate performance metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Once the machine learning models are trained and evaluated, they can be used to predict an individual's risk of developing diabetes based on their unique set of features. Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool in healthcare, offering the potential to transform the way we approach diabetes risk assessment. Dialearner aims to accurately classify individuals at risk of developing diabetes based on their clinical profiles. Evaluate the performance of Dialearner against existing methods and assess its potential impact on improving patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. we present the methodology employed in developing Dialearner, including dataset selection, model training, evaluation, and deployment. Early detection and symptomatic treatment are essential to ensure the healthy life and well-being of prediabetic patients. An intelligent medical diagnosis system based on symptoms, signs.
