Machine Learning used in Diagnosing and Predicting Chronic Diseases

Abstract

Machine learning has made a huge impact in day to day life and processes, and is showing potential to continue changing the future. One of the fields that machine learning is showing potential in is healthcare, specifically, diagnosing and predicting chronic diseases, which are diseases that last for one or more years. The goal of this paper is to summarize some ways machine learning is being used for this, such as analyzing medical images, and how machine learning models can be developed more in the future on more specific tasks, like predicting cancer from a single cell. Additionally, this paper talks more specifically about machine learning. Finally, this paper also discusses some limitations in current models, such as models developing a bias and cost of implementing machine learning models.
