Enhancing Disease Prediction Using Advanced Machine Learning Algorithms
摘要
Incorporation of computer-based technologies into the healthcare sector has significantly increased electronic medical data, creating a challenge for healthcare professionals to efficiently diagnose diseases. Leveraging machine learning (ML) provides an ideal solution by enabling faster and more accurate disease prediction. This study emphasizes the application of supervised machine learning algorithms that include Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest Classifier, K-Nearest Neighbours, Gradient Boosting and Multinomial Naive Bayes to predict diseases based on symptoms inputted by the users. The system rates the given symptoms against a dataset which contains over 40 diseases. The study explains through the implementation of these algorithms how ML may help in early disease detection, better accuracy in diagnosis, and support healthcare providers in taking more informed decisions. This research focuses on the capabilities of ML in analyzing vast and complex datasets and identifying patterns that other methods may miss. This approach could reduce diagnostic errors, ensure better treatment outcomes, and enhance the quality of care for patients. The results indicate that machine learning can transform healthcare by improving the efficiency and reliability of diagnostic tools, thereby enhancing the delivery of healthcare and resource management.
