Human Heart Disease Prediction System Using Data Mining Techniques

Abstract

— Prediction of heart disease is a big concern now a days because everyone is busy and due to heavy load of work people do not give attention to their health. To diagnose a disease is a big challenge. The issue is to extract data that have some meaningful knowledge. For this purpose, data mining techniques are used to extract meaningful data. Decision Tree and ID3 are used to predict heart diseases. Many researchers and practitioners are familiar with prediction of heart diseases and wide range of techniques is available to predict disease. To address this problem, Decision Tree is used to predict the heart disease. In this study the collected data is pre-processed, Decision Tree algorithm and ID3 were then applied to predict the heart disease.
