Cardiovascular Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning

As the human population increases, so is the chance of getting diseases. There are many illnesses globally, and one of the biggest problems faced by the hospital systems today is the lack of technology to know when the patients are ill. One such illness is Cardiovascular Disease or CVD. It refers to any heart disease, vascular disease, or blood vessel disease. According to WHO, more people die of CVD’s worldwide than any other cause. It affects the low and middle-income countries more. It is very hard for people living alone to contact the hospital when they are sick. Therefore, we have developed a model that can detect when a patient is ill and report back to the hospital. The system currently only identifies patients with heart disease and reports back to the hospital. We decided to go with heart disease identification because it is one of the most deadly diseases, and the risk of patients dying because of heart disease is high. Predicting whether a patient has heart disease or not is very clearly a classification problem. Therefore, we have used five models to classify. We take several factors such as blood sugar level, age, cholesterol level, and many more and give the outcome based on the input.
