Abstract

Accurate and on-time analysis of any health-related problem is important for the prevention and treatment of the illness. The traditional way of diagnosis may not be sufficient in the case of a serious ailment. Developing a medical diagnosis system based on machine learning (ML) algorithms for prediction of any disease can help in a more accurate diagnosis than the conventional method. We have designed a disease prediction system using multiple ML algorithms. The data set used had more than 230 diseases for processing. Based on the symptoms, age, and gender of an individual, the diagnosis system gives the output as the disease that the individual might be suffering from. The weighted KNN algorithm gave the best results as compared to the other algorithms. The accuracy of the weighted KNN algorithm for the prediction was 93.5 %. Our diagnosis model can act as a doctor for the early diagnosis of a disease to ensure the treatment can take place on time and lives can be saved.
