With the increase in the amount of medical data being generated and scattered around the
internet, "Health Information" has become the most concerned and searched topic on the
internet. Today , the great majority of consumers look online before asking their doctors
for prescription suggestions for range of health conditions. The medical recommendation
system can be valuable when pandemics, floods, cyclone hits or in rural area. In the age
of Machine Learning (ML), recommender systems give more accurate, precise and
reliable medical predictions while using less resources. Multiple classifier algorithm
(random forest classifier, gradient boosting classifier, k nearest neighbor classifier, naïve
bayes classifier, support vector classifier) are utilized in this project but Support Vector
Classifier (SVC) gave more accurate result. Therefore, we used support vector classifier
in our ML model. The medical recommendation system gives the patient reliable
information about the medication, disease name and its description, precautions,
workouts and diet plan according to patient’s symptoms. In times of medical emergency,
medical recommendation system is helpful for giving patients recommendation for safe
medications. The medical recommendation system is implemented using Python
programming language, leveraging libraries and frameworks for data preprocessing,
machine learning, and user interface development. The system can be deployed as a
web or mobile application, providing a user-friendly interface for patients and
healthcare professionals to interact with.
The medical recommendation system using Python is highly relevant in the context
of healthcare and medication management. It addresses several critical aspects that
impact patient care and treatment outcomes. The relevance of the project can be outlined
as follows:
Enhanced Patient Safety: Medication errors and adverse drug reactions pose
significant risks to patient safety. The medicine recommendation system helps mitigate
these risks by considering factors such as drug interactions and contraindications.
the system promotes patient safety and reduces the likelihood of adverse events,
ultimately improving the quality of care delivered.
Data-driven Decision Making: The project leverages the power of data analysis and
machine learning algorithms to derive insights from patient data. By analyzing large
volumes of patient information, including medical histories and symptoms, the system
can identify patterns and correlations that may not be apparent through manual
assessment.
Scalability and Accessibility: Its accessibility ensures that patients can receive the
same level of personalized care regardless of their geographic location or healthcare
facility.
