Identification and Prediction of Chronic Diseases Using Machine Learning Approach

Abstract

Nowadays, humans face various diseases due to the current environmental condition and their living habits. The identification and prediction of such diseases at their earlier stages are much important, so as to prevent the extremity of it. It is difficult for doctors to manually identify the diseases accurately most of the time. The goal of this paper is to identify and predict the patients with more common chronic illnesses. This could be achieved by using a cutting-edge machine learning technique to ensure that this categorization reliably identifies persons with chronic diseases. The prediction of diseases is also a challenging task. Hence, data mining plays a critical role in disease prediction. The proposed system offers a broad disease prognosis based on patient’s symptoms by using the machine learning algorithms such as convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic feature extraction and disease prediction and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) for distance calculation to find the exact match in the data set and the final disease prediction outcome. A collection of disease symptoms has been performed for the preparation of the data set along with the person’s living habits, and details related to doctor consultations are taken into account in this general disease prediction. Finally, a comparative study of the proposed system with various algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, decision tree, and logistic regression has been demonstrated in this paper.

A Flexible Bayesian Parametric Proportional Hazard Model: Simulation and Applications to Right-Censored Healthcare Data

“…The main difference between the Cox PH model and the parametric PH model is that the baseline hazard function is assumed to follow a specific distribution when it is fitted to the data. Using equation (2), we can see that the hazard ratio (HR) comparing any two specifications of the covariates, for example, ( x and x ∗ ) is …”

“…The use of Bayesian statistics in healthcare has encouraged the application of computational developments, providing a powerful and versatile alternative to traditional methodologies used in healthcare [ 1 ]. The progress of Bayesian approaches in healthcare aims to make an individual's life more affordable and comfortable, similar to how smartphones have made life easier [ 2 ]. Despite the fact that the idea of applying computational Bayesian statistics to survival analysis dates back to the 19th century, McMC techniques are now garnering more attention in the literature because of abundant and cheap computation [ 3 ].…”

Healthcare Predictive Analytics Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques: A Survey

“…In [130], the authors proposed a system for predicting the patients with the more common inveterate diseases with the help of the DL algorithms such as CNN for auto feature extraction and illness prediction so, they used KNN for distance calculation to locate the exact matching in the dataset and the outcome of the nal prediction of the sickness. A combination of disease symptoms was made for the structure of the dataset, the living habits of a person, and also the speci es attaches to doctor consultations which are acceptable in this general disease prediction.…”

A Hybrid Deep Learning Algorithm Based Prediction Model for Sustainable Healthcare System

“…The use of tobacco in humans causes chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer, and diabetes. The feature extraction of this disease and the identification of chronic diseases are obtained by using a convolutional neural network and K-Nearest Neighbor in the article [13]. The less consumption of water for more days in the human body causes a kidney problem, which causes kidney damage and, in turn, requires kidney transplantation.…”
