An Explainable AI-Driven Deep Learning Algorithm for Heart Disease Detection in Healthcare

The application of preprocessed Kaggle data serves as a subject of analysis to investigate heart attack prediction capabilities through machine learning models. The research examines performance outcomes of five algorithms which consist of K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Random Forest together with XGBoost proved as the most accurate machine learning models when used for cardiovascular risk assessment. The researchers built a hybrid structure of CNN and SVM because it improved both data classification and feature extraction processes for better prediction outcomes. The training and evaluation process of models encountered difficulties because of overfitting along with high computational expenses and problems regarding optimal hyperparameter settings. The research stresses that explainable AI (XAI) methods should integrate into systems to enhance model interpretability and achieve trust from clinical professionals. Future initiatives seek real-time patient monitoring and innovative interpretability systems for heart attack prediction to enable person-specific diagnoses and optimal clinical choices in medical fields.
