Stroke Prediction Using Smote-Tomek and Neural Network

Abstract

Stroke is a medical condition that occurs due to inadequate blood supply to the brain causing the death of brain cells. If a stroke is not diagnosed correctly can lead to brain injury, paralysis or even death. As the symptoms of Stroke are very instantaneous and can be triggered by unforeseen conditions also, it makes prevention of this situation very difficult to predict. The pandemic has made this worse as depression is the next stage of it which can be seen by the suffering of the people all across the globe. In our paper, we have taken a step to highlight this important topic of discussion by using advanced Machine learning and Deep Learning techniques to predict any possibility of stroke. We have proposed our final model using Artificial Neural Network which gives the best roc score of 0.84 and given a comparative analysis of how well do other Machine Learning Algorithms like ensemble-based, tree-based and Naive Bayes-based Algorithms perform in predicting Stroke.
