The health sector remains underfunded, falling short of the 15% budget allocation recommended by the Abuja Declaration of which Uganda is a member. Between 2010 and 2016, the budget of the health sector was an average of 7.8% of the national budget. In 2020/2021, it accounted for 5.1% of the national budget, from the previous 7.9% in the previous financial year. Major issues facing the health system include grossly underpaid health practitioners, scarcity of health workers, and necessary equipment in government facilities. The concept of machine learning is ubiquitous, and different algorithms have been used to train and build models to come up with different solution in the health sector. The objective of this project was to come up with a mobile-based machine-learning model for predicting the maintenance of dental machines based on the failure type to determine whether the machine is in good condition to work on patients efficiently or needs repair and maintenance. The project used both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. Random Forest and XG boost classifiers were used to train and test the model using structured data. The dataset contained 8 features, which were the product ID, type of machine, UDI (unique identifier), air temperature, process temperature, rotational speed, torque, and tool wear. Heat dissipation, power failure, random failure, overstain, and no failure were labels used to predict the type of failure that could occur, XG boost classifier emerged as the best with accuracy score of 97.3% in comparison with Random Forest after the accuracy score and confusion matrix of the two algorithms.
