An artificial intelligence model for heart disease detection using machine learning algorithms

The paper focuses on the construction of an artificial intelligence-based heart disease detection system using machine learning algorithms. We show how machine learning can help predict whether a person will develop heart disease. In this paper, a python-based application is developed for healthcare research as it is more reliable and helps track and establish different types of health monitoring applications. We present data processing that entails working with categorical variables and conversion of categorical columns. We describe the main phases of application developments: collecting databases, performing logistic regression, and evaluating the dataset’s attributes. A random forest classifier algorithm is developed to identify heart diseases with higher accuracy. Data analysis is needed for this application, which is considered significant according to its approximately 83% accuracy rate over training data. We then discuss the random forest classifier algorithm, including the experiments and the results, which provide better accuracies for research diagnoses. We conclude the paper with objectives, limitations and research contributions. •We develop an AI-based Heart detection system using machine learning techniques.•We present data processing that entails working with categorical variables and conversion of categorical columns.•We describe the main phases of application developments and follow software engineering process closely.•We develop a random forest classifier algorithm and perform data analysis to validate our system.•We achieve an approximately 83% accuracy rate and continuously improve it further.
