 ABSTRACT
The AI-powered medical diagnosis system aims to automate the detection of common
diseases such as heart disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism using
machine learning models. The primary objective is to develop a system that assists
healthcare professionals in making accurate and timely diagnoses based on patient data.

The system utilizes different datasets for each disease prediction, pre-processed to
handle missing values and scaled for consistency. Machine learning models such as
Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression are employed for
training and prediction. Data is split into training and testing sets, and models are evaluated
using accuracy and other relevant metrics. For heart disease prediction, the Random Forest
classifier is trained on patient health data, while Parkinson’s disease detection leverages
voice measurements using Support Vector Machines. Diabetes detection uses logistic
regression to assess glucose levels, while hypothyroidism detection relies on thyroid
function tests.

Key results demonstrate that each model achieves high accuracy, with heart disease
prediction reaching over 85% accuracy, Parkinson’s disease detection at 88%, diabetes
detection around 82%, and hypothyroid detection at 90%. These results indicate the
models' effectiveness in identifying the presence of diseases based on patient input data.

In conclusion, this AI-based system provides a reliable tool for assisting healthcare
professionals in diagnosing critical diseases. It offers a potential solution to improve
diagnostic speed and accuracy, leading to better patient outcomes. Future improvements
can include incorporating more advanced AI techniques, refining the datasets, and
expanding the system to cover more diseases.

The application of AI and machine learning in healthcare has revolutionized
diagnostic processes, improving the speed and accuracy of disease detection. AI-
based systems have been implemented in various medical fields, including
radiology, pathology, genomics, and disease risk assessment. According to Topol
(2019), AI’s ability to analyse large datasets and identify patterns from medical
records, images, and laboratory tests has shown significant potential in early
detection and personalized medicine. AI-based models can assist clinicians in
making more informed decisions, thus improving patient outcomes.
2. Heart Disease Prediction
Numerous studies have applied machine learning techniques to predict heart
disease. The Framingham Heart Study (Kannel, et al., 1991) was one of the
pioneering works that provided insights into risk factors for cardiovascular
diseases. In more recent studies, AI models, such as logistic regression, decision
trees, random forests, and deep learning, have demonstrated their ability to predict
heart disease based on clinical features such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels,
and patient history (Sharma et al., 2020). A systematic review by Rajkumar et al.
(2018) highlights that machine learning models achieved higher diagnostic
accuracy compared to traditional risk assessment tools in predicting heart disease.
3. Parkinson’s Disease Detection
Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder, can be challenging to
diagnose in its early stages. Research by Mostafa et al. (2020) proposed the use of
machine learning models like support vector machines (SVMs) and k-nearest
neighbours (KNN) to detect Parkinson’s disease from voice data and handwriting

pg. 8
 samples. The UCI Parkinson’s dataset has been widely used in these studies to train
models for early diagnosis. Studies show that AI systems, especially those using
neural networks, have been able to achieve high accuracy in differentiating between
Parkinson’s patients and healthy individuals based on non-invasive features (Das,
2010).
4. Diabetes Detection
Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, has been extensively studied with AI applications.
Machine learning models such as decision trees, logistic regression, and gradient
boosting have been used to classify diabetic patients and predict complications such
as diabetic retinopathy. The Pima Indians Diabetes dataset, provided by the
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), has
been a popular benchmark for diabetes prediction models. According to a study by
Sisodia and Sisodia (2018), AI models have shown potential in accurately
predicting diabetes based on factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), and
glucose levels. Moreover, deep learning models have been employed to analyze
continuous glucose monitoring data, further enhancing prediction accuracy.
5. Hypothyroid Disease Detection
Thyroid diseases, particularly hypothyroidism, have been the focus of several AI-
based studies. The application of AI in diagnosing hypothyroidism typically
involves machine learning models trained on datasets containing clinical
parameters like thyroid hormone levels (TSH, T3, T4) and patient demographics. In
a study by Fikry et al. (2019), machine learning models such as neural networks
and decision trees were applied to the UCI Thyroid Disease dataset to predict
hypothyroidism with promising accuracy. These models have shown potential in
identifying at-risk patients, thus facilitating early intervention.
6. Integration of AI in Healthcare Systems

While AI models have shown significant promise in diagnosing diseases, there are
challenges to their widespread adoption. The “black-box” nature of certain AI
models, especially deep learning, limits their interpretability, making it difficult for
clinicians to understand the reasoning behind predictions (Doshi-Velez & Kim,
2017). Moreover, the generalizability of AI models is a concern, as models trained
on specific datasets may not perform well when applied to diverse patient
populations. Ethical considerations, data privacy issues, and regulatory compliance
also present hurdles in deploying AI models in clinical practice.
Conclusion
The literature review shows that AI has a profound impact on disease diagnosis,
particularly for heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism.
Numerous machine learning models have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy using
publicly available datasets. However, challenges such as model interpretability, ethical
considerations, and the need for real-world validation must be addressed to fully realize the
potential of AI in medical diagnosis.
This survey provides a foundation for the development of the AI-Powered Medical
Diagnosis System, with the selected diseases having well-established AI applications in the
medical field.

2.1 Review of Relevant Literature
AI and machine learning applications in medical diagnosis have gained significant traction
in recent years. These technologies offer enhanced diagnostic capabilities, improved
efficiency, and potential for personalized medicine. This section reviews previous work in
the domain, with a focus on AI-based systems for diagnosing heart disease, Parkinson's
disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism.

1. Heart Disease Prediction

Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, and accurate diagnosis is critical for
effective treatment and prevention. Various AI-based techniques have been proposed to
improve the prediction of heart disease. A key study by Sharma et al. (2020) used
machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, random forests, and support vector
machines (SVMs) to predict heart disease risk based on clinical features like age, blood
pressure, and cholesterol levels. The study demonstrated that AI models can achieve a high
degree of accuracy in identifying individuals at risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Another influential work is the Framingham Heart Study, which provided foundational
insights into risk factors associated with heart disease (Kannel et al., 1991). Machine
learning techniques have since built upon this work, utilizing the Framingham dataset for
predictive modeling. The integration of AI into heart disease diagnosis has been shown to
improve diagnostic accuracy, particularly in high-risk populations.

2. Parkinson’s Disease Detection

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects movement

and motor functions. Traditional diagnosis often relies on clinical observation, but machine
learning models have been explored for early detection. In a study by Mostafa et al.
(2020), researchers used voice recordings and handwriting samples to train SVMs and k-
nearest neighbors (KNN) models, which could detect subtle symptoms associated with
Parkinson's disease.

The use of the UCI Parkinson’s Disease Dataset has also been prominent in research.
Das (2010) employed neural networks to classify patients based on features extracted from
voice recordings, achieving high accuracy. These AI approaches provide a non-invasive
and efficient method for early detection, which is essential for improving patient outcomes
and managing the progression of the disease.

3. Diabetes Detection

Diabetes, a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, has been the
subject of extensive AI research. Machine learning models, including decision trees,
logistic regression, and deep learning, have been applied to predict diabetes using clinical
datasets such as the Pima Indians Diabetes Dataset. Sisodia and Sisodia (2018)

pg. 11
demonstrated the effectiveness of these models in predicting diabetes based on factors such
as age, body mass index (BMI), and glucose levels.

Recent advancements have also focused on using continuous glucose monitoring data for
real-time prediction of blood sugar levels. AI models that analyze these data points can
help in early detection, personalized treatment, and management of diabetes, potentially
reducing the risk of complications such as diabetic retinopathy and kidney disease.

4. Hypothyroidism Detection

Hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones,
is another area where AI has shown potential. In a study by Fikry et al. (2019), machine
learning algorithms such as decision trees and neural networks were trained on the UCI
Thyroid Disease Dataset to predict hypothyroidism based on features such as thyroid
hormone levels (TSH, T3, T4) and clinical symptoms. These models achieved significant
accuracy and demonstrated the potential of AI in assisting with early diagnosis and
management of thyroid disorders.

The literature indicates that AI-based diagnostic tools can enhance the accuracy and speed
of hypothyroidism detection, leading to more timely interventions and improved patient
outcomes. However, as with other medical applications, the need for real-world validation
and clinical testing remains a challenge.

5. AI in Healthcare Systems

Beyond specific disease diagnosis, AI is increasingly being integrated into healthcare

systems as decision support tools. Jiang et al. (2017) conducted a comprehensive review
of AI in healthcare, highlighting its ability to analyze medical images, process electronic
health records, and assist in treatment planning. Their findings indicate that AI has made
significant strides in fields like radiology, pathology, and oncology, offering improvements
in diagnostic accuracy and patient management. AI-based systems are also becoming
essential in telemedicine, where remote diagnostics and monitoring can be powered by
machine learning algorithms.

However, these advancements also raise concerns about data privacy, algorithm
transparency, and the ethical implications of relying on AI for critical medical decisions.
These challenges must be addressed to ensure the safe and responsible integration of AI
into healthcare.

Conclusion

The reviewed literature shows a growing body of work focused on applying AI to medical
diagnosis, especially in areas like heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and
hypothyroidism. AI models have proven to be effective tools for early detection and risk
assessment, leading to better patient outcomes. However, challenges related to model
interpretability, data privacy, and clinical validation persist.

2.2 Existing Models, Techniques, and Methodologies
In recent years, numerous AI models, techniques, and methodologies have been
developed to address the challenge of disease prediction and diagnosis. These
methodologies range from traditional machine learning models to advanced deep
learning architectures. Below is an overview of some of the widely used existing
techniques for diagnosing heart disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and
hypothyroidism.
1. Heart Disease Prediction Models
 Logistic Regression (LR): Logistic regression is often used for binary
classification problems like heart disease prediction. It models the probability of an
event occurring by fitting data to a logistic curve. The technique has been
successfully applied in numerous studies, such as the Framingham Heart Study, to
predict the likelihood of cardiovascular events based on risk factors like age,
cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.
 Random Forest (RF): Random forest is a popular ensemble method that creates
multiple decision trees and aggregates their results for more accurate predictions.
Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of random forests in identifying
patients at risk of heart disease by analyzing clinical data such as blood pressure,
ECG results, and cholesterol levels.
 Support Vector Machines (SVM): SVMs are widely used for classification tasks
in heart disease diagnosis. By mapping data points into a higher-dimensional space,
SVMs can identify complex decision boundaries. For example, Sharma et al.
(2020) demonstrated that SVMs could classify patients as either having or not
having heart disease based on a wide range of clinical indicators.
 Neural Networks: Deep learning models, particularly neural networks, have been
employed to learn intricate patterns from complex datasets. Researchers have found
that neural networks can outperform traditional methods in heart disease prediction,
particularly when integrated with large datasets from electronic health records
(EHRs) or wearable health monitoring devices.
2. Parkinson’s Disease Detection Models
 Decision Trees (DT): Decision trees have been applied to classify Parkinson’s
disease patients based on symptoms like tremors, voice changes, and motor control
issues. A study by Mostafa et al. (2020) demonstrated the efficacy of decision trees
in analyzing datasets that include vocal patterns and handwriting data for
Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
 Support Vector Machines (SVM): SVMs have been utilized for detecting early
symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. For instance, voice-based Parkinson's detection
models have been implemented using SVMs, which classify voice recordings based
on pitch variation and other acoustic features. The UCI Parkinson’s Dataset has
been frequently used in such research.
 k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN): k-NN is another technique commonly employed for
Parkinson's disease detection. It classifies patients based on their proximity to other

pg. 13
 individuals with known diagnoses. Features such as voice frequency and motor
control tests have been used to train k-NN models for Parkinson’s disease
detection.
 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): CNNs have shown success in medical
image processing tasks. In Parkinson’s disease research, CNNs have been applied
to detect structural changes in brain scans or to analyze patient handwriting
patterns, providing high diagnostic accuracy.
3. Diabetes Detection Models
 Logistic Regression: Logistic regression has been extensively applied in diabetes
prediction due to its simplicity and interpretability. Researchers using the Pima
Indians Diabetes Dataset have demonstrated the effectiveness of logistic regression
in predicting diabetes based on clinical factors such as glucose levels, BMI, and
age.
 k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN): k-NN has been used in predicting diabetes by
finding similarities between patients with known diabetes and new patients based
on clinical data. The algorithm classifies patients by analyzing proximity to the
nearest known diabetes cases.
 Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): ANNs have gained attention for diabetes
prediction due to their ability to model non-linear relationships between input
variables. These models have been used to predict diabetes outcomes based on
features such as age, blood sugar levels, insulin levels, and blood pressure.
 XGBoost: This is a powerful gradient boosting algorithm that has recently gained
popularity for its performance in structured datasets, including diabetes prediction.
XGBoost iteratively improves the prediction accuracy by minimizing the error of
weak learners and is especially effective for medical diagnosis tasks.

4. Hypothyroidism Detection Models
 Naive Bayes (NB): Naive Bayes classifiers have been used to predict thyroid
disorders, including hypothyroidism, by modeling the likelihood of disease based
on features like hormone levels (TSH, T3, T4) and other patient health indicators.
Its simplicity and effectiveness in handling small datasets make it a popular choice
for thyroid disease diagnosis.
 Decision Trees and Random Forests: Decision trees and random forests are
frequently used for detecting thyroid disorders, given their interpretability and
robustness in handling mixed data types. They can easily classify patients based on
hormonal test results, medical history, and demographic data. A study by Fikry et
al. (2019) used these models for hypothyroidism detection with promising results.
 Neural Networks: Neural networks have been applied in cases where datasets are
large and feature-rich, allowing for deeper learning of patterns related to thyroid
disorders. ANNs, in particular, have been trained on datasets like the UCI Thyroid
Disease Dataset to identify hypothyroidism with high accuracy.

pg. 14
5. Hybrid Models and Ensemble Techniques
In recent years, hybrid models combining different machine learning techniques have
been explored to enhance accuracy and robustness in disease detection. For instance,
combining logistic regression with random forests or SVM with decision trees often
yields better performance than individual models alone. Ensemble techniques such as
AdaBoost and Bagging are also commonly employed to boost the accuracy of medical
diagnosis models by integrating multiple weak learners.
Methodologies
 Feature Engineering and Selection: In all of these models, the success of the AI
systems largely depends on the quality of features selected for training. Techniques
such as principal component analysis (PCA) and recursive feature elimination
(RFE) are often applied to select the most relevant features for each disease
diagnosis.
 Data Preprocessing and Normalization: Preprocessing steps, including handling
missing values, normalizing data, and managing imbalanced classes, are essential
in achieving optimal results with AI models. Methods such as SMOTE (Synthetic
Minority Over-sampling Technique) are used for dealing with imbalanced datasets,
which is a common problem in medical diagnosis systems.
Conclusion
The literature on AI-driven medical diagnosis systems demonstrates a variety of
models and techniques applied to predicting diseases like heart disease, Parkinson's
disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism. While each method has its strengths and
limitations, recent advancements in AI, particularly deep learning, show immense
potential in improving the accuracy, speed, and accessibility of medical diagnostics.
The existing models provide a strong foundation for further innovation in this project,
which aims to develop an AI-powered medical diagnosis system integrating these
techniques for multi-disease detection.

2.3 Gaps or Limitations in Existing Solutions and How This Project Will
Address Them

Despite the advancements in AI-driven medical diagnosis systems, several gaps and
limitations exist in current models and methodologies. These challenges range from data
issues to model interpretability and scalability. Below are some of the key gaps and
limitations identified in the existing solutions, followed by how this project aims to address
them:

1. Data Availability and Quality

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Many current models rely on small datasets with
limited diversity. This restricts their generalizability to a wider population, as the
models may not perform well on data from different demographic groups,
ethnicities, or regions. Additionally, many datasets contain missing or incomplete
data, which can affect the accuracy and robustness of predictions.
 Proposed Solution: In this project, we aim to use larger, more diverse datasets to
improve the generalizability of our AI-powered medical diagnosis system. The
datasets will be preprocessed to handle missing values, ensuring data quality
through techniques such as imputation, and using more advanced methods like
SMOTE to handle imbalanced classes.

2. Limited Multi-Disease Detection Capabilities

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Most existing models focus on detecting a single

disease, such as heart disease or diabetes. While these models may achieve high
accuracy, they lack the ability to perform multi-disease detection in a single system.
This limits their utility in real-world clinical settings where patients may present
with multiple co-existing conditions.
 Proposed Solution: This project aims to develop a unified AI-powered system that
can detect multiple diseases (heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and
hypothyroidism) within a single platform. By integrating multiple models into one
comprehensive system, we aim to improve clinical efficiency, enabling early
diagnosis of multiple conditions using the same patient data.

pg. 16
3. Model Interpretability

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Many AI models, especially deep learning

approaches, are often considered "black boxes" due to their lack of interpretability.
Medical practitioners require insights into how the model arrives at a particular
diagnosis to trust its predictions. However, existing models often do not provide
clear explanations for their decision-making processes.
 Proposed Solution: This project will incorporate explainable AI techniques, such
as SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) and LIME (Local Interpretable Model-
agnostic Explanations), to enhance the interpretability of the predictions. By
providing clear, human-understandable explanations for each diagnosis, this system
will foster trust and transparency in its usage among healthcare providers.

4. Overfitting and Generalization Issues

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Overfitting is a common issue in many existing AI

models, especially when using small datasets. Overfitting occurs when the model
performs exceptionally well on training data but fails to generalize to new, unseen
data. This leads to poor diagnostic accuracy in real-world applications.
 Proposed Solution: To address overfitting, this project will employ techniques like
cross-validation, dropout, and regularization in the model development phase. By
ensuring that the models are tested on diverse sets of data and tuning the
hyperparameters, we aim to build models that generalize well across various patient
populations.

5. Limited Integration with Real-World Medical Systems

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Many existing models are developed in isolation from
real-world clinical workflows. These models may lack the necessary infrastructure
to be integrated into electronic health record (EHR) systems or to be used by
clinicians in practice. Without seamless integration, the practical utility of these
models remains limited.
 Proposed Solution: This project will focus on designing a system that can easily
be integrated with existing EHR systems and hospital information systems (HIS).
By building models that are compatible with standard healthcare data formats and
pg. 17
 workflows, the project will bridge the gap between AI research and practical
application in clinical settings.

6. Lack of Personalization

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Existing models often provide generic predictions

based on population-level data without considering individual patient
characteristics, such as medical history, genetic factors, or lifestyle choices. This
lack of personalization can reduce the accuracy and relevance of the diagnosis for
individual patients.
 Proposed Solution: This project will incorporate personalized medicine techniques
by integrating patient-specific data, such as genetic information, lifestyle habits,
and historical health records. This will enable the system to provide tailored
recommendations and diagnoses for each individual patient, improving both
accuracy and patient outcomes.

7. Scalability and Computational Efficiency

 Gaps in Existing Solutions: Many AI models require significant computational

resources to train and deploy, making them difficult to scale for widespread use in
low-resource settings or smaller healthcare facilities. This limits their applicability
in regions with limited access to advanced computing infrastructure.
 Proposed Solution: The models developed in this project will be optimized for
computational efficiency using techniques like model pruning, quantization, and
cloud-based deployment. This will make the system scalable and accessible, even
in low-resource environments, ensuring that the benefits of AI-driven medical
diagnosis can be extended to underserved regions.

Conclusion:

By addressing these key gaps and limitations in existing models, this project seeks to
create an AI-powered medical diagnosis system that is more accurate, interpretable,
scalable, and personalized. The integration of multi-disease detection capabilities and the
focus on practical clinical applications will ensure that the system has a tangible impact on
healthcare delivery, especially in regions with limited medical resources.

 CHAPTER 3
Proposed Methodology
The methodology for developing the AI-powered medical diagnosis system involves
several key steps, including data collection, preprocessing, model selection, training,
evaluation, and deployment. The goal is to build an integrated system capable of
diagnosing multiple diseases such as heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and
hypothyroidism. Below is a detailed breakdown of the methodology used in the project:
3.1. Data Collection
Data collection is the first and most crucial step in building any AI system. For this project,
publicly available datasets from reputable sources such as Kaggle, UCI Machine Learning
Repository, and medical research databases were used for each disease:
 Heart Disease Prediction Dataset
 Parkinson’s Disease Detection Dataset
 Diabetes Detection Dataset
 Hypothyroidism Detection Dataset
Each dataset contains various medical features, patient records, and diagnostic information.
The datasets are consolidated and cleaned for training and testing purposes.
3.2. Data Preprocessing
Since medical data often contains inconsistencies, missing values, or noisy information,
preprocessing is vital for improving model accuracy:
 Handling Missing Data: Techniques such as mean/mode imputation and KNN
imputation are used to fill in missing values.
 Feature Scaling: For algorithms sensitive to scale, such as SVM and logistic
regression, we normalize or standardize the data.
 Label Encoding: Categorical variables are encoded using One-Hot Encoding or
Label Encoding to make them machine-readable.
 Data Splitting: The data is split into training and testing sets (80% training, 20%
testing) using stratified splitting to maintain class balance across both sets.
3.3. Feature Selection
Feature selection helps in reducing dimensionality, improving model performance, and
eliminating redundant features. Some techniques used include:

pg. 19
  Correlation Analysis: Features highly correlated with the target variable and less
correlated with each other are selected.
 Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE): RFE is applied to identify the most
important features for each disease-specific model.
 Chi-Square Test: For categorical data, the chi-square test is used to determine
feature importance.
3.4. Model Selection and Training
For each disease, different machine learning models are selected based on their suitability
and performance:
 Heart Disease: Models like Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost are
trained.
 Parkinson’s Disease: Models like Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest
Neighbors (KNN), and Decision Trees are used.
 Diabetes Detection: Models such as Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, and
Naive Bayes are employed.
 Hypothyroidism Detection: Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, and Neural
Networks are tested.
Each model is trained using the training data and optimized using techniques such as Grid
Search and Random Search for hyperparameter tuning.
3.5. Model Evaluation
The models are evaluated using various metrics to ensure they are accurate and
generalizable:
 Accuracy: Measures the overall correctness of the model predictions.
 Precision and Recall: These metrics are critical in medical diagnosis as they
evaluate false positives and false negatives, respectively.
 F1 Score: Provides a balance between precision and recall, especially useful for
imbalanced datasets.
 AUC-ROC Curve: Used to assess the model’s ability to distinguish between
classes, especially in binary classification tasks.
 Cross-Validation: K-fold cross-validation is employed to validate the model's
robustness and avoid overfitting.
3.6. Multi-Disease Diagnosis System Integration

pg. 20
Once individual models for each disease are trained, they are integrated into a unified
system. The architecture includes:
 Ensemble Learning: Combines predictions from multiple models to improve
accuracy.
 User Interface: A simple, user-friendly interface is developed to allow users
(doctors or patients) to input patient data and get predictions on multiple diseases
simultaneously.
 Explainable AI (XAI) Methods: Techniques like SHAP and LIME are integrated
into the system to provide clear explanations for predictions, enhancing
interpretability for medical professionals.
3.7. Model Deployment
The system is deployed using cloud-based services to ensure scalability and accessibility:
 Cloud Deployment: The AI models are deployed on cloud platforms such as
AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure to handle real-time predictions and scalability.
 API Integration: RESTful APIs are created for easy integration with healthcare
systems or applications.
 Data Security: The system adheres to data security standards such as HIPAA to
protect patient information and ensure compliance with medical data regulations.
3.8. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
After deployment, the system will be continuously monitored for performance:
 Feedback Loop: Real-time user feedback is gathered to further improve the
system’s predictions.
 Model Updates: The models are periodically retrained with new data to maintain
accuracy and performance over time.
Conclusion
This proposed methodology ensures a comprehensive, systematic approach to building an
AI-powered medical diagnosis system capable of detecting multiple diseases with high
accuracy, interpretability, and scalability. The project aims to have a significant impact on
early detection and intervention in healthcare, improving patient outcomes through AI
technology.
