Detecting Heart Disease & Diabetes with Machine Learning

🚀 Course Title: Detecting Heart Disease & Diabetes with Machine Learning
🤝 Instructor: Christ Raharja
📘 Course Description:

Introduction to Healthcare Analytics with ML: Dive into the world of machine learning and its transformative power in healthcare! This course is a goldmine for anyone eager to explore the intersection of data science and health analytics. You'll start by understanding the role of machine learning in healthcare, its use cases, and the importance of patient data privacy. We'll also address the technical challenges and limitations that come with this sensitive field.

Understanding Disease Detection Models: Next, we'll dissect how heart disease and diabetes detection models are built from scratch. You'll learn about data collection, preprocessing, splitting datasets into training and testing sets, selecting features, model training, and finally, disease detection. This section is crucial for grasping the mechanics behind these life-saving tools.

Causes of Heart Disease & Diabetes: Uncover the main factors contributing to heart disease and diabetes, such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and excessive sugar consumption, as well as genetics. This knowledge is pivotal for understanding the data you'll be working with.

Project Setup & Data Exploration: Learn to set up Google Colab IDE and locate clinical datasets on platforms like Kaggle. You'll also get hands-on experience in downloading, cleaning, and visualizing data to ensure a thorough understanding of the dataset patterns.

Model Building & Evaluation: Step into the realm of model building with Random Forest, XGBoost, logistic regression, and support vector machines (SVM). We'll guide you through each step, from selecting the right algorithm to evaluating your model's accuracy with precision, recall, and k-fold cross validation methods.

**📈 Why Build These Models? The answer is clear: Early detection of heart disease and diabetes can lead to timely interventions and personalized treatment plans. By developing precise models, we can not only enhance patient outcomes but also optimize healthcare delivery systems, making them more efficient and cost-effective over time. This course equips you with the skills to leverage technology for better healthcare accessibility and affordability.

What You'll Learn:

• Machine learning applications in healthcare and patient data privacy
• The end-to-end process of building heart disease and diabetes detection models
• Risk factors associated with heart disease and diabetes
• How to find and download clinical datasets from Kaggle
• Data cleaning techniques to handle missing values and duplicates
• Correlation analysis between blood pressure and cholesterol
• Demographics analysis for heart disease patients
• Feature importance analysis using Random Forest
• Building heart disease detection models with various algorithms
• Analyzing diabetes cases linked to obesity
• Constructing diabetes detection models using SVM, XGBoost, KNN, etc.
• Evaluating model performance using precision, recall, and k-fold cross validation metrics
