Abstract

The use of Machine Learning techniques for disease prediction, such as diabetes, has gained prominence due to their ability to identify patterns in large volumes of medical data and assist in clinical decision-making. Diabetes is a chronic condition that, if not diagnosed and treated early, can lead to severe complications. Therefore, predicting its development in early stages, based on factors such as age, family history, lifestyle habits, and laboratory tests, can significantly contribute to health management and personalized treatment. In this context, this study investigates the application of Machine Learning algorithms in medical data analysis to predict the occurrence of the disease. Furthermore, this research emphasizes the importance of data quality, relevant feature selection, and model interpretability—essential factors for the reliability of predictions and their impact on medical decisions. Additionally, the study compares the performance of different algorithms, analyzing the contribution of each variable used and highlighting the most influential factors in diabetes prediction. Thus, this research aims not only to develop effective models but also to provide insights that can enhance predictive approaches in healthcare.
