The prediction of Thyroid Diseases through machine learning

If left untreated, Thyroid diseases can impact our day-today life). Moreover, incorporating machine learning techniques into medical practice can greatly improve diagnostic capabilities for thyroid disease. By utilising the hypothyroid dataset and creating predictive models, healthcare professionals can accurately predict and diagnose thyroid conditions. Therefore, the aim of this research is to deploy machine learning tools to establish the optimal model for helping in predicting a thyroid disease named hypothyroidism by the means of using the dataset hypothyroid and through creation &testing of five predictive models and identifying the optimal model for medical practitioners to utilize. As a result of the comparative testing, Random Forest Model proved to be the best performing model as it showed the highest accuracy and precision across the spectrum of features considered. It creates fresh opportunities for early detection and intervention, which could improve patients' outcomes and even save lives by transforming how thyroid conditions are identified and treated. Furthermore, the RF-powered approach to prediction of Thyroid diseases identified can lead to development of dedicated tools tailored specifically to the needs of medical professionals involved in treating thyroid diseases and consequently create fresh opportunities for early detection and intervention-leading to improvement of patients' outcomes and saving lives.
