Applications of Machine Learning in Disease Pre-screening

Abstract

Computers in disease prescreening are utilized to interpret medical information. This is known as computer-aided pre-screening tool (CAPST). CAPST helps in improving the accuracy of diagnosis in medicine. The medical experts usually take the outcome of the CAPST as a second opinion to make the final diagnostic decisions. Fast and accurate prediction of disease risk and diagnosis is crucial step for the successful treatment of an individual. The AI-based machine learning technology has undergone significant developments over the past few years and is successfully used in many intelligent applications covering problems of variety of domains. One of the most stimulating questions is whether these techniques can be successfully applied to medicine in disease pre-screening and diagnosis and what kind of data it requires to be trained and learned. There are so many real-time examples of the problems where machine learning methods are applied successfully, especially in medicine. Many of them showed significant improvement in classification accuracy.
