Application of Machine Learning with Supervised Classification Algorithms: In the Context of Health

Nowadays a great amount of data related to health issues is stored, and each time the volume is increasing. In Panama, diabetes is a disease that causes a considerable number of deaths per year. This disease is the fifth cause of death in the country. Diabetes is one of the diseases with the greatest socio-sanitary impact, both due to the great importance it has, and also due to the large number of chronic complications that the patient has and in addition to its high mortality rate. Diabetes is a silent disease and every day in our country there are more people who suffer from it, it is unfortunate that many young people are developing this disease they do not know they have it. Using innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) applied to sensitive areas such as health is increasing every day. The new models based on machine learning currently, is growing, however in our countries there are few studies related to the subject. Therefore, this research aims to use various techniques of machine learning and determine how these models can help us to solve health problems.
