Medical Disease Prediction using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Abstract: There is a growing importance of healthcare and pandemic has proved that healthcare is an important aspect of an individual life. Most of the medical diagnoses require going to the doctor and fixing appointments for a consultation and sometimes to get accurate disease indications we have to wait for blood reports also we have to travel long distances to seek doctor consultation. When we are not feeling well the first thing we do is to check our temperature to get an estimate or baseline idea of our fever so we can consult our doctor if the temperature is high enough similarly a medical disease prediction application can be used to get a baseline idea of disease and can indicate us whether we should take immediate doctor consultation or not, or at least start some home-remedies for the same to find temporary relief. Combining machine learning with an application interface to interact with users provides opportunities for easy interaction with the users with the machine learning model to get more accurate predictions. Sometimes people feel reluctant to visit a hospital or consult a doctor for minor symptoms but there are cases where these minor symptoms may be indications of severe health problems hence medical disease prediction maybe useful to get a baseline prediction or estimation of disease in such cases.
