For this purpose, a deep learning (CNN) algorithm is used by intelligent machines to classify skin cancer images according to their types
3. “ A Clinical Support System for Prediction of Heart Disease using Machine Learning Techniques” (2020) [3] The authors concluded that the proposed clinical decision support system using machine learning algorithms could enhance the prediction of heart disease risk and help clinicians make more accurate diagnoses. While the accuracy decreased when using cross-validation, they believe it's a robust technique for handling overfitting. The study encourages further research to improve the accuracy of heart disease prediction models and highlights the importance of the choice of dataset, number of attributes, and algorithms used. Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. However, it remains difficult for clinicians to predict heart disease as it is a complex and costly task. Hence, we proposed a clinical support system for predicting heart disease to help clinicians with diagnosis and make better decisions.
4. “ Predictive Analytics on Diabetes Data using Machine Learning Techniques” (2021) [4] Precision medicine has gained attention for improving disease treatment and prevention. The research work contributes to the development of diabetes prediction models. Further integration of genetic biomarkers could enhance prediction accuracy and treatment decisions. Diabetes mellitus is an ongoing illness related to anomalous undeniable levels of the sugar glucose in the blood and it is a major public health problem. Diabetes has become the 4th driving reason for death in developed countries. Though several methodologies have been developed to predict this chronic disease, there is a need for innovative approaches that may aid in the early prediction of diabetes and its complications.
5. “ A Supervised Machine Learning Approach using Different Feature Selection Techniques on Voice Datasets for Prediction of Parkinson’s Disease” (2019) [5] The study demonstrated the effectiveness of supervised machine learning and different feature selection techniques in distinguishing Parkinson's disease using voice data. SVM with GA-based features achieved high accuracy. However, further investigation with larger datasets and exploring other advanced classification algorithms could enhance accuracy and robustness. Future research can explore the integration of multimodal data (voice, gait, etc.) for improved accuracy. Among the neurological diseases, Parkinson’s disease is the second most common disease, which affects the old age people over the age of 65 years. It is also mentioned that the number of people affected with Parkinson’s disease will increase at a higher rate until 2050, and it will be a rising concern to many developed countries because the cost to the healthcare service of this disease is really high
III. EXISTING SYSTEM
In the current landscape, existing disease prediction systems primarily cater to large-scale diseases such as Heart Disease and Cancer, utilizing relatively small datasets with predefined conditions. However, these systems may fall short of accommodating changes in diseases and their influencing factors over time, potentially leading to inaccuracies in results. Moreover, users often encounter lengthy questionnaires, causing delays in accessing necessary information. As diseases evolve continually, there's a pressing need for more dynamic and efficient systems to keep pace with diagnostic demands.
IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Our proposed system aims to address these limitations by offering a streamlined User Interface (UI) and ensuring time efficiency. To achieve this, we plan to implement a specific questionnaire tailored to each user, minimizing the time required for input. Our objective is to serve as a vital link between doctors and patients, leveraging machine learning techniques to deliver accurate predictions. Additionally, our system will feature a Doctor's Consultation functionality, suggesting users seek professional medical advice based on the generated reports. By incorporating this feature, we aim to not only cater to doctors but also gain their trust in the system's reliability and efficacy.
V. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
As depicted in the figure above, the raw data from the original dataset undergoes Data Preprocessing as the initial phase. This process involves cleaning the data of redundancies, missing values, etc., rendering it suitable for training various algorithmic models. The training of models is a fundamental step in machine learning projects, typically involving Supervised Learning or Unsupervised Learning approaches. Our system primarily employs Supervised Learning initially. In Supervised Learning, the system learns from examples in a training set and then predicts new values based on a test set. Effective partitioning of datasets, often using an 80/20 split for training and testing purposes, is crucial for achieving high model accuracy.
In our system, different algorithms are applied to the training dataset, and based on the model's confidence and testing dataset accuracy, the best-performing algorithm is selected for application to the testing dataset, resulting in accurate predictions.
The above diagram illustrates the use cases of our system, involving two actors: the user and the server containing the ML model for disease prediction. Users first register with the system, choose a disease category, and provide input in the form of an image or answers to questionnaires. This input is then forwarded to the ML model for prediction. Subsequently, the system displays the predicted result and suggests appropriate medications based on the predicted disease.
By implementing these components, our proposed system aims to revolutionize disease prediction by prioritizing user experience, accuracy, and efficient healthcare delivery.
VI. METHODOLOGY
