Stacking Ensemble Artificial Intelligence Model for Heart Disease Diagnosis

Personalized treatment plans, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics are becoming more and more popular as a way to improve decision-making, expedite operations, and improve patient care. But there are still a number of substantial barriers to overcome, which includes but not limited to issues with user adoption, trust, prejudice, and fairness brought on by resistance from healthcare providers and a lack of confidence in the system's recommendations. To overcome these challenges and realize the full potential of AI-driven solutions, the system's accuracy and safety through meticulous testing and validation of AI algorithms becomes indispensable. This research provides a hybrid AI model that blends three base models with a Meta model in order to diagnose heart disease effectively. The essence is to revalidate the existing AI diagnostic models for cardiac diseases diagnostics and to tackle the concerns impeding the full utilization of the available AI diagnostic system. The study makes use of each model's advantages by merging these various and complimentary algorithms into a stacking ensemble model to create a diagnostic system that is more potent. Using publicly available heart disease data, the model performs remarkably well; it achieves 89% accuracy, 85% recall (sensitivity), 92% specificity, and 89% precision. This hybrid model's performance and proven efficacy are expected to boost trust in the system's recommendations and encourage broader implementation in clinical practice.
