Early detection of stroke disease using patients previous medical data instil with deep learning

Early detection of any disease and starting its treatment in this early stage are the most important steps in case of any life-threatening disease. Stroke is not an exception in this regard which is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. We develop a simple but efficient deep neural network for the stroke prediction that accurately evaluates the probability of occurrence of stroke disease by treating this as a binary classification problem on one of the standard datasets named as Stroke Prediction Dataset available on Kaggle. With the help of effective pre-processing techniques such as SMOTE and FastICA on the noisy and imbalanced dataset, we could achieve improved performance for the binary classification of stroke prediction by employing a deep dense neural network. The architectural hyper-parameters are critically designed with the help of Keras Tuner and consisting of just ten layers in the deep dense neural network. With the help of this light weight deep dense model, we report an accuracy of 95%, AUC Score of 100% and F1-Score of 95% on a testing set. Moreover, we also present comparative illustration of various machine learning models for the aforesaid task along with the comparative illustration of various state of the arts with our proposed model for the stroke prediction.
