Problem
Did you know 72.9 million people in India had diabetes as of 2017? Alarming as the number is, it is expected to be 134 million by 2045. Early and accurate diagnosis goes a long way in preserving the health and quality of life of the patient. This is where machine learning can be of help. Machine learning has been applied to many aspects of the medical field. Using it to predict diabetes based on a person’s regular physical examination data, can enable patients and doctors to better deal with this chronic illness.
