Abstract- This study uses a K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) classifier to detect teenage cardiac disease. Years of age, Sexual orientation, Chest Ache category, Ambient Heart pressure, cholesterol levels, Highest Cardiac Level, and Exercise-Induced Angina are clinically important and interpretable aspects of the cardiovascular disease dataset used to create the model. These qualities were chosen to improve model interpretability for doctors and laypeople. Data preparation encoded categorical variables and standardised features for model optimisation. Histograms, charts with bars, and scatter plots were used to explore feature distribution and heart disease status. The kernel nearest neighbour (KNN) model was trained with k=11 neighbours and tested using precision, a matrix of confusion, classifying report, ROC spectrum, and precision-recall curve, proving predictive power. To select the most influential predictors, feature importance was permutation-based. A Flask web application lets users input health parameters to forecast heart disease risk. The software generates personalised, patient-friendly health information using OpenAI's API and generates PDF reports. The technology keeps prognosis records in an information system for future reference. This approach uses data-driven modelling, interpretability, and user-friendliness to help adolescents recognise and understand heart disease risk.
