Diabetes Prediction Using Neural Network

Abstract-Diabetes is one of the most frequent diseases worldwide where yet no remedy is discovered for it. Every year a great deal of money has to be spent for caring for patients with diabetes. Therefore, it is crucial that prediction should be very accurate and a very dependable method must be adopted for doing so. One of these methods is the use of artificial intelligence systems, and in particular, the use of Artificial Neural Networks, or ANN. So, in this paper, we used artificial neural networks in order to predict whether or not a person has diabetes. The criterion was to minimize the error function in neural network training with the help of a neural network model. After training the ANN model, the average error function of the neural network was equal to 0.01 and the accuracy of the prediction of whether a person is diabetics or not was 70%
