Heart Disease and COVID-19 Prediction Using AI/ML

Abstract-The current pandemic of COVID-19 for global medical care has high demand on rapid and correct diagnosis, especially in a cardiac population with prior heart disease being a large proportion among these patients. In this work, a predictive machine learning (ML) model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed to recognize COVID-19 and heart disease from chest X-ray images. The COVID-19 positive and normal X-ray images were used to train the CNN model. The objective behind was to automate the diagnosis so that it helps in early detection of diseases which can save lives and improve patient management. The model was accurate and demonstrated promising results in clinical scenarios.
