Abstract
The remarkable technological advancements in the health care industry have improved recently for the betterment of patients’ life and providing better clinical decisions. Applications of machine learning and data mining can change the available data to valuable information that can be used for recommending appropriate drugs by analyzing symptoms of the disease. In this work, a machine learning approach for multi-disease with drug recommendation is proposed to provide accurate drug recommendations for the patients suffering from various diseases. This approach generates appropriate recommendations for the patients suffering from cardiac, common cold, fever, obesity, optical, and ortho. Supervised machine learning approaches such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Decision Tree, and K-nearest neighbors were used for generating recommendations for patients. The experimentation and evaluation of the study was carried out on a sample dataset created only for testing purpose and is not obtained from any source (medical practitioner). This experimental evaluation shows that the Random Forest classifier approach yields a very good recommendation accuracy of 96.87% than the other classifiers under comparison. Thus, the proposed approach is considered as a promising tool for reliable recommendations to the patients in the health care industry.
