The Diabetes Prediction System is a machine learning-based application that predicts the likelihood of an individual developing diabetes. It utilizes a dataset containing various health-related features and applies a predictive model to determine the probability of diabetes occurrence. The system aims to assist healthcare professionals in early detection and intervention, as well as empower individuals to monitor their health effectively.

The Diabetes Prediction System is designed to provide accurate predictions on the likelihood of an individual developing diabetes. By analyzing various health-related features, the system utilizes machine learning techniques to classify individuals as either having diabetes or not. This can aid healthcare professionals in early diagnosis and intervention, leading to improved patient outcomes.
This project focuses on implementing a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model from scratch to predict diabetes. The SVM algorithm is chosen for its effectiveness in handling classification tasks. The model is trained on a labeled dataset that includes features such as pregnancies, glucose level, blood pressure, insulin level, BMI, diabetes pedigree function, and skin thickness. These features are used to build a predictive model that can accurately classify individuals based on their diabetes status.
The Diabetes prediction dataset is a collection of medical and demographic data from patients, along with their diabetes status (positive or negative). This dataset can be used to build machine learning models to predict diabetes in patients based on their medical history and demographic information. This can be useful for healthcare professionals in identifying patients who may be at risk of developing diabetes and in developing personalized treatment plans. Additionally, the dataset can be used by researchers to explore the relationships between various medical and demographic factors and the likelihood of developing diabetes.
The dataset used in this system contains several input features, including:
- Age: The age of the individual.
- Gender: The gender of the individual.
- BMI: The Body Mass Index, a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
- Hypertension: Indicates whether the individual has hypertension (1) or not (0).
- Heart Disease: Indicates whether the individual has a history of heart disease (1) or not (0).
- Smoking History: Indicates the individual's status of smoking.
- HbA1c Level: The level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the individual's blood.
- Blood Glucose Level: The blood glucose level in the individual's blood.
