ABSTRACT:
The rapid advancements in data science and machine learning have revolutionized various sectors, particularly healthcare. This research introduces an innovative AI Assistant Doctor system that utilizes machine learning techniques, specifically a Support Vector Classifier (SVC), to predict potential diseases based on user-reported symptoms. The system aims to bridge the gap between symptom recognition and understanding their significance, promoting early intervention and improved health outcomes. The AI Assistant Doctor offers a comprehensive healthcare tool that goes beyond disease prediction, providing users with detailed information about illnesses, preventive measures, drug recommendations, nutritional guidance, and personalized exercise suggestions. The SVC model is trained on a diverse dataset of symptoms and diseases, enabling accurate predictions. The system is designed to be accessible through a user-friendly web interface, allowing individuals to input their symptoms and receive immediate insights. In addition to disease prediction, the AI Assistant Doctor equips users with a thorough understanding of the predicted condition, including its symptoms, causes, and typical progression. It also offers preventive strategies, suggested medications, dietary advice, and customized physical activity recommendations to help users manage their health effectively. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and web-based frameworks, this research presents a cutting-edge approach to disease prediction and healthcare management, addressing the growing need for accessible medical information and timely interventions. The AI Assistant Doctor has the potential to alleviate pressure on healthcare systems, improve individual health outcomes, and support medical practitioners in delivering precise diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
