HeathDetect7: Multiple Disease Identification Using Machine Learning

Abstract

Numerous machine learning models in healthcare focus on single disease detection, yet there`s a growing need for systems that predict multiple diseases using a unified interface. This research addresses this gap by leveraging machine learning techniques to analyse diverse medical datasets and provide personalized risk assessments for diseases such as COVID-19, brain tumours, breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer`s, and pneumonia. These diseases are causing many deaths globally, often due to the lack of timely check-ups and medical interventions. This problem is intensified by inadequate medical infrastructure and a low ratio of doctors to the population. By incorporating medical imaging data and clinical parameters, this study offers a comprehensive approach to disease identification, enabling early intervention and improved health outcomes. The project`s user-friendly interface allows individuals to input their medical information easily and receive timely assessments. Various classification algorithms, such as Random Forest, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Visual Geometry Group-16 (VGG-16), are explored to achieve accurate disease prediction. The ultimate goal is to create a web application that leverages machine learning to forecast several diseases, contributing to proactive healthcare management, and empowering individuals to monitor their health proactively and make informed decisions about their well-being.
