This study presents the use of machine learning techniques in the healthcare sector. The healthcare sector produces ever-increasing volumes of data every day, making human manual processing impossible for timely disease diagnosis and treatment choices. Data management strategies and machine learning algorithms are being investigated in healthcare applications to help overcome this difficulty and enable more precise decision-making. The use of this state-of-the-art technology improves several aspects of healthcare applications by providing detailed descriptions of medical data. To enable predictive analysis and extract knowledge associated with these patterns, the Naïve Bayes machine learning method is used to train the machine to predict a variety of diseases. Automated or semi-automated data collection is a primary focus, underscoring the importance of this procedure.
Introduction
The text discusses the development of an easy-to-use online intelligent healthcare system designed to provide immediate medical assistance by predicting diseases based on user symptoms. The system leverages machine learning (ML) algorithms to analyze large healthcare datasets for accurate and timely disease prediction.
Traditional healthcare prediction methods often struggle with complex data and lack real-time responsiveness. In contrast, ML techniques like Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, and Linear Regression improve prediction accuracy and efficiency. Naïve Bayes, in particular, is highlighted for its simplicity, speed, and effectiveness in classifying diseases based on symptom probabilities.
The system design involves collecting symptom data (e.g., from Kaggle), preprocessing it to handle missing values, and feeding it into predictive models. These models analyze user inputs to forecast likely diseases, helping users receive timely guidance and improving healthcare outcomes.
Conclusion
The proposed system offers significant value in situations where access to medical professionals is limited or delayed. It proves especially useful during late-night emergencies, in remote areas with a shortage of healthcare providers, or when immediate consultation is not feasible. This automated platform allows users to understand potential medical conditions based on their symptoms in a straightforward and accessible manner, making it a practical self-assessment tool.One potential enhancement to this system is its integration into an Android mobile application. By doing so, users can access the platform directly from their smartphones, making it more convenient and increasing its usability. This mobile extension would not only expand the system’s reach but also make health monitoring more intuitive and available to a broader audience.Looking ahead, there are plans to adapt and deploy this application in rural areas where medical facilities are often inadequate. By providing early health insights in such regions, the system can play a key role in bridging the gap in healthcare services. In this context, the application has strong potential both as a practical solution and as a foundation for further research and innovation in digital healthcare delivery.
