DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SYSTEM FOR HEALTH DOCUMENT CLASSIFICATION USING MACHINE LEARNING


ABSTRACT

Document classification is the task of grouping documents into categories based upon their content. The aim of this study is to develop a system for Health Document Classification Using Machine Learning. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to design and implement an application software that will totally or partially eliminate the problems encountered in the existing system and accurately classify the health documents either into Malaria, Diarrhea or Hypertension.

The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that due to the massive increase in medical documents every day (including books, journals, blogs, articles, doctors' instructions and prescriptions, emails from patients, etc.), it is becoming very challenging to handle and to categorize them manually. One of the most challenging projects in information systems is extracting information from unstructured texts, including medical document classification.

The discovery of knowledge from medical datasets is important in order to make effective medical diagnosis. Developing a classification algorithm that classifies a medical document by analyzing its content and categorizing it under predefined topics is the primary aim of this research. In this research, Natural Language Processing was applied which is a branch of Machine Learning to Classifying Health related documents.

The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application.

The software delivered from this project work will greatly reduce the time used by doctors, physicians and other health workers in searching and retrieving documents. The expected result is an electronic System for Health Document Classification Using Machine Learning that will be used to hold promising solutions for the global health arena to index and classify medical documents expeditiously and the system will also generate an accurate patients’ diagnostic health result for decision making purpose.


CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Document classification is the task of grouping documents into categories based upon their content. Document classification is a significant learning problem that is at the core of many information management and retrieval tasks. Document classification performs an essential role in various applications that deals with organizing, classifying, searching and concisely representing a significant amount of information. Document classification is a longstanding problem in information retrieval which has been well studied (Russell, 2018).

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.


1.2 Background of Study

Contemporarily, most hospitals, medical laboratories and other health facilities make use of some kind of information system. These could be either a hospital management system or a pharmacy management system. Among other functions that these systems provide, they are mainly used in collecting patient records. These information systems stores patient records in digital format. Numerous patient data are being recorded on a daily basis which forms a large data set popularly referred to as “Big Data”.

Every day physicians and other health workers are required to work with this “Big Data” in other to provide solution. Some of the everyday tasks include information retrieval and data mining. Retrieving information from big data can be very laborious and time consuming. This has given rise to the study of text or document classification in other to aid the process of retrieving information from big data. Today, text classification is a necessity due to the very large amount of text documents that we have to deal with daily.

Document classification is the task of grouping documents into categories based upon their content. Document classification is a significant learning problem that is at the core of many information management and retrieval tasks. Document classification performs an essential role in various applications that deals with organizing, classifying, searching and concisely representing a significant amount of information. Document classification is a longstanding problem in information retrieval which has been well studied (Russell, 2018). Usually, machine learning, statistical pattern recognition, or neural network approaches are used to construct classifiers automatically. Machine learning approaches to classification suggest the automatic construction of classifiers using induction over pre-classified sample documents. In this project work we will employ machine learning in classifying health documents.

The challenges encountered that led to the execution of the research work is that, with the explosion of information fuelled by the growth of the World Wide Web it is no longer feasible for a human observer to understand all the data coming in or even classify it into categories. Also in the health sector, numerous patient records are being collected everyday and are used for analysis.

It is against the background that the developments of this software to enable health workers diagnose patients, so the software users should not give false information that is out of the software deeds. This research work is based on providing adequate information about medical records. At the end of this project, the research work, the software will be able to provide precise and concise patient records from the database.


1.3 Statement of Problem
