Abstract

This article presents a composite machine learning model designed to predict diabetes by leveraging multiple predictive algorithms. The objective of this research is to develop a reliable predictive tool that can be utilized in healthcare settings to facilitate early diagnosis and improved management of diabetes. The model integrates several machine learning techniques to handle diverse data characteristics and improve prediction accuracy. We initiated our approach by gathering a broad dataset from various healthcare databases to ensure a comprehensive demographic and biological representation. The data underwent rigorous preprocessing to ensure consistency and relevance for model training. Feature selection was systematically performed to identify the most significant predictors of diabetes, focusing on reducing model complexity while maintaining predictive integrity. The core of our model architecture combines several machine learning techniques, each selected to complement the others’ strengths and weaknesses. This composite approach allows for robustness against overfitting and enhances the generalizability of the model across different patient populations. The performance of the model was evaluated using standard metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). Results from the testing phase demonstrate that our model achieves superior performance in diabetes prediction compared to traditional single-algorithm approaches. This study contributes to the field by providing a scalable and effective framework for diabetes prediction, which can be adapted for further use in other chronic disease contexts. Future work will focus on integrating real-time data analysis and exploring the impact of longitudinal patient data on prediction accuracy
