Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an ocular condition caused by a sustained high level of sugar in the blood, which causes the retinal capillaries to block and bleed, causing retinal tissue damage. It usually results in blindness. Early detection can help in lowering the risk of DR and its severity. The robust and accurate prediction and detection of diabetic retinopathy is a challenging task. This paper develops a machine learning model for detecting Diabetic Retinopathy that is entirely accurate. Pre-trained models such as ResNet50, InceptionV3, Xception, DenseNet121, VGG19, NASNetMobile, MobileNetV2, DensNet169, and DenseNet201 with pooling layer, dense layer, and appropriate dropout layer at the bottom of them were carried out in transfer learning (TL) approach. Data augmentation and regularization was performed to reduce overfitting. Transfer Learning model of DenseNet121, Average and weighted ensemble of DenseNet169 and DenseNet201 TL architectures contribute individually the highest accuracy of 100%, the highest precision, recall, F-1 score of 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively.

Heart disorder has just overtaken cancer as the world's biggest cause of mortality. Several cardiac failures, heart disease mortality, and diagnostic costs can all be reduced with early identification and treatment. Medical data is collected in large quantities by the healthcare industry, but it is not well mined. The discovery of previously unknown patterns and connections in this information can help with an improved decision when it comes to forecasting heart disorder risk. In the proposed study, we constructed an ML-based diagnostic system for heart illness forecasting, using a heart disorder dataset. We used data preprocessing techniques like outlier detection and removal, checking and removing missing entries, feature normalization, cross-validation, nine classification algorithms like RF, MLP, KNN, ETC, XGB, SVC, ADB, DT, and GBM, and eight classifier measuring performance metrics like ramification accuracy, precision, F1 score, specificity, ROC, sensitivity, log-loss, and Matthews' correlation coefficient, as well as eight classification performance evaluations. Our method can easily differentiate between people who have cardiac disease and those are normal. Receiver optimistic curves and also the region under the curves were determined by every classifier. Most of the classifiers, pretreatment strategies, validation methods, and performance assessment metrics for classification models have been discussed in this study. The performance of the proposed scheme has been confirmed, utilizing all of its capabilities. In this work, the impact of clinical decision support systems was evaluated using a stacked ensemble approach that included these nine algorithms

Fetal health is a critical concern during pregnancy as it can impact the well-being of both the mother and the baby. Regular monitoring and timely interventions are necessary to ensure the best possible outcomes. While there are various methods to monitor fetal health in the mother's womb, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the accuracy, efficiency, and speed of diagnosis. In this study, we propose a robust ensemble model called ensemble of tuned Support Vector Machine and ExtraTrees (ETSE) for predicting fetal health. Initially, we employed various data preprocessing techniques such as outlier rejection, missing value imputation, data standardization, and data sampling. Then, seven machine learning (ML) classifiers including Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost (XGB), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), ExtraTrees (ET), and K-Neighbors were implemented. These models were evaluated and then optimized by hyperparameter tuning using the grid search technique. Finally, we analyzed the performance of our proposed ETSE model. The performance analysis of each model revealed that our proposed ETSE model outperformed the other models with 100% precision, 100% recall, 100% F1-score, and 99.66% accuracy. This indicates that the ETSE model can effectively predict fetal health, which can aid in timely interventions and improve outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
