This work addresses improving predictive analytics for chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer, but it is incremental as it compares existing algorithms without introducing new methods.

The study tackled chronic disease prediction by applying bio-inspired optimization algorithms for feature selection, finding they effectively reduced features needed for accurate classification, though performance varied across datasets.

In this study, we investigated the application of bio-inspired optimization algorithms, including Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Whale Optimization Algorithm, for feature selection in chronic disease prediction. The primary goal was to enhance the predictive accuracy of models streamline data dimensionality, and make predictions more interpretable and actionable. The research encompassed a comparative analysis of the three bio-inspired feature selection approaches across diverse chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, kidney, and cardiovascular diseases. Performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and f1 score are used to assess the effectiveness of the algorithms in reducing the number of features needed for accurate classification. The results in general demonstrate that the bio-inspired optimization algorithms are effective in reducing the number of features required for accurate classification. However, there have been variations in the performance of the algorithms on different datasets. The study highlights the importance of data pre-processing and cleaning in ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the analysis. This study contributes to the advancement of predictive analytics in the realm of chronic diseases. The potential impact of this work extends to early intervention, precision medicine, and improved patient outcomes, providing new avenues for the delivery of healthcare services tailored to individual needs. The findings underscore the potential benefits of using bio-inspired optimization algorithms for feature selection in chronic disease prediction, offering valuable insights for improving healthcare outcomes.
