Abstract

Rural communities in India face ongoing challenges in accessing primary healthcare. These challenges include a lack of doctors, geographical isolation, and high consultation costs. This paper discusses an AI-assisted healthcare kiosk, a web-based, fully offline system that provides automated disease prediction, medication recommendations, BMI assessment, cardiovascular risk evaluation, and doctor referrals. It does all this without needing a permanent physician or internet connection. The system uses a Decision Tree classifier along with several machine learning models trained on a structured dataset of 4,920 samples, 132 symptom features, and 41 disease categories. It achieved 100% classification accuracy on the test set. The Flask-based web application features offline speech recognition through Kiosk, text-to-speech output using pyttsx3, TF-IDF vectorisation for natural language processing, and a MySQL backend for managing patient sessions. All ten functional test cases were successful, with an end-to-end response time of about one second. The proposed system proves it is possible to implement AI-powered primary healthcare tools in rural and resource-limited areas.

AI Based Disease Prediction and Remedy Recommendation System

AI and ML are being utilized for enhanced treatment, diagnosis, and prediction of diseases. However, most of the applications provide generalized treatment based on the symptoms provided with lesser emphasis on patient’s health factors. In this paper, we present an AI-based system for predicting diseases along with recommending remedies. This is achieved by employing Random Forest algorithm and considering the patients’ symptoms in addition to age, gender, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, BMI, heart rate, hemoglobin, stress, and sleep duration. Further, the suggested information includes the causes, diagnostic tests, diet chart, exercise, lifestyle, home remedies, prevention measures, and specialist consultation. The proposed application has been implemented as a web application with custom API and stack, user authentication, language translation, electronic health records, admin panel, and PDF report generation. The experimental results show that the Random Forest algorithm is effective in fitting the data with accurate prediction of diseases. The proposed AI-based tool can be considered as an intelligent companion for screening diseases with improved awareness and prediction for taking necessary precautions and seeking medical treatment.

Adaptive Multi-Model Fusion Framework for Heart Attack and Diabetes Risk Prediction

The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in the world requires accurate and easy to access diagnostics. These chronic diseases are asymptomatic and need early screening in an attempt to prevent complications and reduce healthcare expenditure. The contemporary systems yield tremendous data about patients, their demographics, lifestyle, medical history, lab results, and ECGs, and the traditional tools are processing these data separately. Such a fragmented approach lacks the ability to capture complex risk interactions and predictively forecast the likelihood, slowing down intervention, and putting strain on resources in high-volume or constrained environments. Our system solves this by providing a full preprocessing pipeline: data cleaning, feature scaling, temporal slicing, and missing value imputation of consistent and reliable inputs. It uses a hybrid modelling model based on XGBoost and TabNet with a rule-based logic module with clinical heuristics. The Multimodal Transformer Fusion layer is central, as it dynamically weighted and combined predictions across all modalities so that cross-model interactions could be used to provide context-related outputs. This provides subtle patient particular predictions, enhancing accuracy of diagnosis in profiles. One of the best is the mechanism of clinician-in-the-loop feedback. It provides SAP and SHAP explainability visuals, post-prediction, which clearly explain the contribution of features. Clinicians perfect the model based on practical knowledge, which includes AI and human intelligence that increases reliability and minimizes human supervision. Focused on clinicians, diagnostic laboratories, health professionals, and health-tech innovators, this explainable and easy-to-use platform allows detecting the disease at an early stage and designing a unique treatment regimen.
