Next-generation diabetes diagnosis and personalized diet-activity management: A hybrid ensemble paradigm.

Abstract

Diabetes, a chronic metabolic condition characterised by persistently high blood sugar levels, necessitates early detection to mitigate its risks. Inadequate dietary choices can contribute to various health complications, emphasising the importance of personalised nutrition interventions. However, real-time selection of diets tailored to individual nutritional needs is challenging because of the intricate nature of foods and the abundance of dietary sources. Because diabetes is a chronic condition, patients with this illness must choose a healthy diet. Patients with diabetes frequently need to visit their doctor and rely on expensive medications to manage their condition. It is challenging to purchase medication for chronic illnesses on a regular basis in underdeveloped nations. Motivated by this concept, we suggest a hybrid model that, rather than depending solely on medication to evade a visit to the doctor, can first anticipate diabetes and then suggest a diet and exercise regimen. This research proposes an optimized approach by harnessing machine learning classifiers, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and XGBoost, to develop a robust framework for accurate diabetes prediction. The study addresses the difficulties in predicting diabetes precisely from limited labeled data and outliers in diabetes datasets. Furthermore, a thorough food and exercise recommender system is unveiled, offering individualized and health-conscious nutrition recommendations based on user preferences and medical information. Leveraging efficient learning and inference techniques, the study achieves a meager error rate of less than 30% using an extensive dataset comprising over 100 million user-rated foods. This research underscores the significance of integrating machine learning classifiers with personalized nutritional recommendations to enhance diabetes prediction and management. The proposed framework has substantial potential to facilitate early detection, provide tailored dietary guidance, and alleviate the economic burden associated with diabetes-related healthcare expenses.
