Deep Learning Approaches for Early Detection of Chronic Diseases: A Comprehensive Review
Keywords:
deep learning, chronic diseases, early detection, convolutional neural networksAbstract
The emergence of deep learning techniques has revolutionized various domains, including medical diagnostics, by enhancing the early detection of chronic diseases. This comprehensive review aims to provide a thorough examination of deep learning methodologies applied to the early identification of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer. The review delineates the advancements in deep learning architectures, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and their hybrid models, which have demonstrated substantial efficacy in processing and analyzing complex medical data. The study further explores the variety of data sources utilized in these applications, ranging from medical imaging modalities (e.g., MRI, CT scans) to electronic health records (EHRs) and genomic data, emphasizing their role in improving diagnostic accuracy.
Evaluation metrics are critically assessed to ensure the reliability and robustness of deep learning models in clinical settings. Metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, recall, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) are discussed in detail, providing insights into model performance and their practical implications. The review also integrates real-world case studies, showcasing how deep learning approaches have been successfully implemented to enhance early disease detection and management.
In addition to summarizing the state-of-the-art techniques, this paper identifies current limitations and challenges faced by these models, including data privacy concerns, the need for large annotated datasets, and the interpretability of model decisions. By synthesizing findings from recent literature and clinical trials up to March 2021, this review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of how deep learning can contribute to the advancement of early diagnostic practices and improve patient outcomes in chronic disease management.
