CHAPTER – 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 WHAT IS MACHINE LEARNING?

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science which focuses on
the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its
accuracy. It is a subset of AI, which uses algorithms that learn from data to make predictions.
These predictions can be generated through supervised learning, where algorithms learn patterns
from existing data, or unsupervised learning, where they discover general patterns in data.

Fig.1.1 Machine Learning

The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer
in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence. The synonym self-teaching computers
was also used in this time period.

Although the earliest machine learning model was introduced in the 1950s when Arthur Samuel
invented a program that calculated the winning chance in checkers for each side, the history of
machine learning roots back to decades of human desire and effort to study human cognitive
processes.

The fundamental idea behind machine learning is to enable computers to recognize patterns, make
decisions, and improve their performance over time based on experience. The process involves the
following key components:

 Data: Machine learning algorithms require data to learn and make predictions. This data
could be labeled (with known outcomes) or unlabeled, depending on the type of learning
(supervised or unsupervised).
 Training: During the training phase, the machine learning model is exposed to a large
dataset, and it learns patterns and relationships within the data. The model adjusts its parameters to
Bminimize the difference between its predictions and the actual outcomes.
 Testing and Evaluation: After training, the model is tested on new, unseen data to evaluate
its performance. The goal is to assess how well the model generalizes to new, unknown situations.
Machine learning is an important component of the growing field of data science. Through the

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI Page |1

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

use of statistical methods, algorithms are trained to make classifications or predictions, and to
uncover key insights in data mining projects. These insights subsequently drive decision making
within applications and businesses, ideally impacting key growth metrics. As big data continues
to expand and grow, the market demand for data scientists will increase. They will be required to
help identify the most relevant business questions and the data to answer them.

Machine learning (ML) has found applications in a wide range of industries and domains,
transforming the way we approach problem-solving and decision-making.

1.2 MACHINE LEARNING IN HEALTHCARE

One of the primary areas where machine learning has demonstrated remarkable potential is in
disease prediction. By leveraging vast datasets comprising patient records, genetic information,
and medical imaging, machine learning algorithms can identify subtle patterns and correlations
that might escape human observation. This holds immense promise for early detection and
prevention of diseases, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

How is Machine Learning used in Healthcare?

Machine learning is helpful in various use cases of healthcare and has a vast ability to handle
complex data. It includes:

 Providing medical imaging and diagnostics

 Predicting and treating disease
 Discovering and making new drugs
 Organizing medical records

In the realm of disease prediction, machine learning models can assess an individual's risk factors
and susceptibility to various conditions. By analyzing historical data from diverse patient
populations, these models can identify early indicators and subtle patterns associated with specific
diseases. This predictive capability empowers healthcare professionals to intervene proactively,
implementing preventive measures and personalized treatment plans to mitigate the impact of
potential health issues.

Fig.1.2 ML in Healthcare

For the healthcare industry, machine learning algorithms are particularly valuable because they

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI Page |2

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

can help us make sense of the massive amounts of healthcare data that is generated every day
within electronic health records. Using machine learning in healthcare like machine learning
algorithms can help us find patterns and insights in medical data that would be impossible to find
manually.

As machine learning in healthcare gains widespread adoption, healthcare providers have an

opportunity to take a more predictive approach to precision medicine that creates a more unified
system with improved care delivery, better patient outcomes and more efficient patient-based
processes.

The goal of machine learning is to improve patient outcomes and produce medical insights that
were previously unavailable. It provides a way to validate doctors’ reasoning and decisions
through predictive algorithms. For example, suppose a doctor prescribes a specific medication for
a patient. In that case, machine learning can validate this treatment plan by finding a patient with a
similar medical history who benefitted from the same treatment.

Fig.1.3 How ML used in Healthcare

Drug makers hope that machine learning will be able to predict the way patients will respond to
various drugs and identify which patients may gain the most from them.

Additionally, ML technology has already supported central nervous system clinical trials, and it is
anticipated that it will offer insight into how patients will respond to medications.

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

1.3 IMPORTANCE OF DISEASE PREDICTION FOR EARLY

INTERVENTION

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 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 significance of disease prediction for early intervention lies in its transformative impact on
healthcare outcomes, both at the individual and societal levels. One of the foremost advantages is
the potential for improved patient outcomes, wherein early detection facilitates prompt medical
intervention, leading to better treatment efficacy and increased chances of recovery. Moreover, the
economic implications cannot be overstated, as early detection often translates to less complex and
costly treatment plans, alleviating financial burdens on both individuals and healthcare systems.
Additionally, early intervention plays a pivotal role in preventing disease progression, averting the
development of severe complications and preserving the overall quality of life for individuals with
chronic conditions.

On a broader scale, disease prediction contributes to public health initiatives by enabling the early
identification of outbreaks, allowing for timely implementation of preventive measures and
resource allocation. Furthermore, the optimization of healthcare resources is facilitated by the
ability to anticipate and address health issues before they escalate, reducing the strain on facilities
and staff. By fostering a shift toward personalized medicine and targeted therapies, early
prediction aligns with the evolving landscape of healthcare, emphasizing individualized
approaches based on genetic makeup. Overall, disease prediction for early intervention embodies a

Fig.1.4 Predictive Analysis in Healthcare

It is difficult to diagnose rare diseases. Hence, the use of self-reported behavioral data helps
differentiate the individuals with rare diseases from the ones with common chronic diseases. By
using machine learning approaches along with questionnaires, it is believed that the identification
of rare diseases is highly possible.

Fig.1.5 Analysis of data

In the era of the Internet and technologies, people are not concerned about their health and lives.
As everyone is interested in surfing and social media activities, they ignore visiting hospitals for
their health checkup. By taking this activity as an advantage, a machine learning model that takes
the symptoms given as input and predicts the possibility and risk of the disease affected or the
development of such diseases in an individual should be developed.

The significance of early intervention through disease prediction extends to the optimization of
healthcare resources. By efficiently allocating resources to high-risk individuals or populations,
healthcare providers can maximize the use of medical facilities, personnel, and equipment. This
resource optimization contributes to a more sustainable and responsive healthcare system.

In essence, disease prediction for early intervention aligns with the principles of preventive
medicine, empowering individuals to take an active role in their health. Through increased
awareness, lifestyle modifications, and regular health check-ups, individuals can actively
participate in maintaining their well-being. In the broader context, the integration of technology,

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI Page |5

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

particularly machine learning and predictive analytics, continues to advance our ability to detect
and address health issues at their earliest stages, reinforcing the importance of early intervention in
modern healthcare.

Moreover, personalized medicine is facilitated through early disease prediction. Identifying health
issues at an early stage allows for the customization of treatment plans based on individual patient
characteristics. This tailored approach enhances the effectiveness of healthcare strategies, aligning

2.2 CLASSIFICATION OF MACHINE LEARNING

1. SUPERVISED MACHINE LEARNING

Supervised learning is defined as when a model gets trained on a “Labelled Dataset”. Labelled
datasets have both input and output parameters. In Supervised Learning algorithms learn to map
points between inputs and correct outputs. It has both training and validation datasets labelled.

Fig.2.2 Supervised Learning

Supervised Learning is further divided into two categories:

o Classification
o Regression

Classification deals with predicting categorical target variables, which represent discrete classes or
labels. For instance, classifying emails as spam or not spam, or predicting whether a patient has a
high risk of heart disease. Classification algorithms learn to map the input features to one of the
predefined classes.
Regression, on the other hand, deals with predicting continuous target variables, which represent
numerical values. For example, predicting the price of a house based on its size, location, and
amenities, or forecasting the sales of a product. Regression algorithms learn to map the input
features to a continuous numerical value.

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI Page |8

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

2. UNSUPERVISED MACHINE LEARNING

Unsupervised Learning Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning technique in which an
algorithm discovers patterns and relationships using unlabeled data. Unlike supervised learning,
unsupervised learning doesn’t involve providing the algorithm with labeled target outputs.

Fig.2.3 Unsupervised Learning

Unsupervised Learning is also divided into below categories:

o Clustering
o Association Rule
o Dimensionality Reduction

Clustering is the process of grouping data points into clusters based on their similarity. This
technique is useful for identifying patterns and relationships in data without the need for labeled
examples.

Association rule learning is a technique for discovering relationships between items in a dataset. It
identifies rules that indicate the presence of one item implies the presence of another item with a
specific probability.

3. SEMI-SUPERVISED LEARNING
Semi-Supervised learning is a machine learning algorithm that works between the supervised and
unsupervised learning so it uses both labelled and unlabelled data. It’s particularly useful when
obtaining labeled data is costly, time-consuming, or resource-intensive.

Fig.2.4 Semi-Supervised Learning

4. REINFORCEMENT MACHINE LEARNING

Reinforcement machine learning algorithm is a learning method that interacts with the
environment by producing actions and discovering errors. Trial, error, and delay are the most
relevant characteristics of reinforcement learning. In this technique, the model keeps on increasing

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI Page |9

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

its performance using Reward Feedback to learn the behavior or pattern.

Fig.2.5 Reinforcement machine learning

CHAPTER – 4
FEATURE SELECTION AND EXTRACTION

FEATURE SELECTION:

Feature selection is a process of selecting a subset of relevant features from the original set of
features. The goal is to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, simplify the model, and
improve its generalization performance.

Various techniques can be employed for feature selection in healthcare datasets. Univariate
methods, such as statistical tests like chi-squared or mutual information, assess the individual
importance of each feature. Recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithms iteratively remove
less significant features, allowing the model to focus on the most informative ones. Moreover,
tree-based methods like Random Forests provide feature importance scores, aiding in the selection
of influential variables.

In the healthcare context, selecting features involves considering clinical relevance and domain
knowledge. Medical professionals often play a crucial role in identifying variables that are
biologically meaningful and contribute to the understanding of disease mechanisms.

FEATURE EXTRACTION:

Feature extraction goes beyond feature selection by transforming the original features into a new
set of features, often of lower dimensionality. This process is particularly useful when dealing
with high-dimensional datasets, such as those common in genomics or medical imaging. In
healthcare, feature extraction methods aim to capture the intrinsic patterns and structures within

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI P a g e | 13

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

the data, revealing hidden relationships that might be challenging to discern in the original feature
space.

Ultimately, the choice between feature selection and extraction depends on the specific
characteristics of the healthcare dataset, the goals of the predictive model, and the need for
interpretability.

AUC): ROC-AUC is a comprehensive metric that evaluates the trade-off between true
positive rate and false positive rate across different probability thresholds.
7. POSITIVE PREDICTIVE VALUE (PPV) - PRECISION AT K: PPV, also known as
precision at K, focuses on the positive predictions made by the model.
8. NEGATIVE PREDICTIVE VALUE (NPV): NPV measures the accuracy of negative
predictions, indicating the model's ability to correctly identify individuals without the
disease.
9. AREA UNDER THE PRECISION-RECALL CURVE (PR-AUC): PR-AUC provides a
more focused view of a model's precision and recall performance, especially in imbalanced
datasets.

These metrics collectively offer a comprehensive evaluation of disease prediction models,

considering factors such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and overall discriminatory power.

CASE STUDY

PREDICTING HEART DISEASE WITH RANDOM FORESTS

Imagine a real-time healthcare scenario where a medical institution aims to enhance its
cardiovascular risk assessment capabilities. A dataset is collected, incorporating a variety of
patient attributes, including age, gender, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and lifestyle habits.
The goal is to develop a predictive model using machine learning to assess the likelihood of heart
disease.

HEART DISEASE

The Heart is the most important organ of human body. If it does not function properly then it
affects other organ of the body. According to a report 7,000,000 die from heart attacks each year.

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE, TIRUPATI P a g e | 19

DISEASE PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING

According to WHO report around 17.9 million people die due to CVDS in 2016. 31% of the death
of people is due to Heart disease around the globe in every year. The pumping of blood to the
human body is the vital function of heart which supply oxygen and nutrients to the human body
and also remove other metabolic waste from the body. If there is deficiency of blood in human
body then heart doesn’t function properly and it stop working which causes the death of human
being. Angina occurs when there is temporary loss of blood to the heart causing chest pain.

Cardiovascular disease is of two types.

(1) Heart Attack-It occurs when the heart blood vessels are suddenly blocked.
(2) Heart Failure-It results from coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy. Heart
failure is basically when the heart is unable to maintain a strong blood flow and this results in
chronic tiredness, resist physical activities and shortness of breath.
Heart failure can be divided into three types.
1. right side heart failure 2. Left side heart failure 3. congestive heart failure.

Major causes of heart disease are

 Disease Type
 Smoking
 High Blood Pressure
 High Cholesterol
 Diabetes and Pre diabetes
 Being overweight
 Physical inactivity
 Metabolic syndrome

Symptoms of Heart attack

(a)Nausea
(b)Dizziness
(c)Jaw pain
(d)Abdominal pain

Living a healthy life style can reduce the effect of heart disease. Drinking plenty of water, eating
green vegetables, fat free food, doing exercises, regular check-up of heart, consulting with the
doctor if there any family history of heart disease can reduce the effect of heart disease.

Random forest is a supervised machine learning algorithm that constructs several decision trees.
The final decision is made based on the majority of decision tree. Decision tree suffer from low
bias and high variance. Random forest converts high variance to low variance.

Methodology:
For the proposed study dataset was taken from Kaggle site. Then it was downloaded in excel file
using comma separated format. Data has processed by python programming using Jupiter
notebook. Different types of python libraries such as pandas, Sklearn, NumPy, matplotlib are used
for processing the algorithms. Using explorative data analysis technique data was analysed in
jupyter notebook.10-fold cross validation technique is used for spitting the data set into training
and testing data. Then using random forest algorithm dataset was processed.

Algorithm Selection:

pressure, cholesterol levels, and lifestyle choices as inputs. The model learns to identify patterns
and relationships within the data that are indicative of heart disease. Cross-validation and hyper
parameter tuning are performed to optimize the model's performance.

Evaluation Metrics:
To assess the model's effectiveness in real-time, evaluation metrics are selected based on the
healthcare context:

Sensitivity: The model's ability to accurately identify individuals with heart disease.
Specificity: The model's accuracy in identifying individuals without heart disease.
Precision: The accuracy of positive predictions, minimizing false positives.
F1 Score: Balancing precision and recall, crucial for minimizing both false positives and false
negatives.
ROC-AUC: Assessing the trade-off between true positive rate and false positive rate.
Real-Time Predictions:
As new patient data becomes available in real time, the trained Random Forest model makes
predictions on the likelihood of heart disease for each individual. The model's outputs are
continuously monitored and compared to actual diagnoses.

Results and Continuous Improvement:

The model's performance is regularly assessed using the chosen evaluation metrics. Any updates
or improvements to the model are made based on the continuous influx of real-time data and
feedback. This iterative process ensures that the model remains accurate and effective in
predicting heart disease as new information becomes available.

Impact:
By integrating machine learning, specifically the Random Forest algorithm, into real-time
cardiovascular risk assessment, the medical institution can enhance its ability to identify
individuals at risk of heart disease promptly.

This proactive approach allows for personalized interventions, leading to improved patient
outcomes and more efficient allocation of healthcare resources. The continuous monitoring and
refinement of the model ensure its relevance and effectiveness in dynamic healthcare
environments.

CHAPTER – 10
CHALLENGES AND RISKS

While machine learning-based applications in healthcare present unique and progressive

opportunities, they also raise unique risk factors, challenges, and healthy skepticism. Here we
discuss the main risk factors including the probability of error in prediction and its impact, the
vulnerability of the systems' protection and privacy, and even the lack of data availability to obtain
reproducible results. Some of the challenges include ethical concerns, loss of the personal element
of healthcare, and the interpretability and practical application of the approaches to bedside
setting.

In recent years, many studies have applied machine-learning techniques to the prediction of
infectious diseases, and the results have been promising. One of the key challenges in using
machine learning for disease prediction is the availability of high-quality, comprehensive data.

One of the most important risks of machine learning-based algorithms is the reliance on the
probabilistic distribution and the probability of error in diagnosis and prediction. This also gives
rise to a healthy skepticism related to the validity and veracity of predictions from ML-based
approaches.

Even though the probability of error and reliance on probability is deep-rooted in the various
aspects of health care, the implications of ML-based approaches resulting in a human fatality are
severe. One solution is to subject these machine learning-based approaches to strict institutional
and legal approval by several organizations before their application

Another risk associated with the application of ML and deep learning algorithms to health care is
the availability of high-quality training and testing data with large enough sample sizes to ensure
high reliability and reproducibility of the predictions. Given that the ML and deep learning-based
approaches 'learn' from data, the importance of quality data cannot be stressed enough. In addition,
the large amounts of feature-rich data required for these learning networks and approaches are not
readily available and may also represent a narrow distribution of the population sample.

With respect to ethical concerns, researchers working on applying ML-based approaches to

healthcare can readily learn from the field of genetic engineering which has undergone extensive
ethical debate. The controversy surrounding the use of genetic engineering to create long-lasting
genetic advancements and treatments is a continuous discourse.

An important challenge with ML application to healthcare is associated with the interpretation and
clinical applicability of the results. Given the complex structure of ML-based approaches,
especially deep learning-based methods, it becomes incredibly complex to distinguish and identify
the original features' contribution towards the prediction.

Addressing these challenges and risks requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving

collaboration between data scientists, healthcare professionals, ethicists, and policymakers.
Continuous monitoring, transparency, and a commitment to ethical practices are crucial to
navigate the complex landscape of disease prediction using machine learning.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, disease prediction using machine learning holds immense promise for transforming
healthcare by providing valuable insights, improving diagnostic accuracy, and facilitating
proactive interventions. However, the journey is not without its challenges and risks. The quality
and representativeness of healthcare data, interpretability of models, privacy concerns, and ethical
considerations are critical factors that demand careful attention.

Despite these challenges, the potential benefits are substantial. Machine learning models have the
capacity to revolutionize personalized medicine, enhance preventive care, and contribute to more
efficient and effective healthcare delivery. The ongoing advancements in technology, coupled with
increasing collaborations between data scientists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers,
offer a pathway to overcome current obstacles and unlock the full potential of disease prediction
models.

Many of the current machine learning advancements in healthcare aim to support the physician’s
or specialist's ability to provide a more effective treatment to patients with increased quality,
speed, and precision.

The challenges of developing ML algorithms can be solved by developing and implementing

improvements in data collection, storage, and dissemination or by creating algorithms to process
unstructured data to address the lack of data availability. Future applications can also bring forth
inexpensive forms of medical imaging and affordable medical examinations, potentially ending
health disparities and creating more accessible services for countries and lower-income
populations.

FUTURE SCOPE
The future of disease prediction using machine learning is characterized by exciting possibilities
and avenues for improvement. Advances in data collection techniques, including wearables,
continuous monitoring devices, and genomic data, will contribute to richer and more diverse
datasets. Integrating multiple modalities of data, such as clinical, genetic, and lifestyle
information, holds the potential to enhance predictive accuracy and provide a more holistic
understanding of health.

As these technologies mature, their integration into routine clinical practice has the potential to
revolutionize patient care, ushering in an era where healthcare is not only reactive but, more
importantly, proactive, preventive, and personalized.
