Abstract

Data analytics reflects trends on the particular subject based on comparison with historical dataset and present dataset. With the advancement of technology, healthcare predictive analytics at periodic intervals affords insights into diseases collectively, identifying risk of the patients' health in the future. The novelty of this project is to analyze symptoms and healthcare datasets, to predict the risk of the mentioned diseases using machine learning algorithms to better time management and convenience for physicians and the general population. Hence, the proposed model provides the provision to save patients directly from risk to the particular disease based on the periodic trend analysis. On the contrary, the hospital will utilize the proposed model to control future disease outbreaks.

How Does Machine Learning Work?

Assume someone is attempting to throw a ball into a tub. The person could overshoot the target the first time because they used too much force. They may lower the force on the second try, but they will miss the ideal angle of their throw. Likewise, they might be able to land the ball in the tub in their third attempt. This is because the brain is always learning and adapting to new experiences, resulting in a better end product. In machine learning, the same concept can be applied to a machine. Data analytics and artificial intelligence are now capable of accomplishing this type of learning and adaptation.
