CML-Cardio: a cascade machine learning model to predict cardiovascular disease risk as a primary prevention strategy.

Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with more than 23 million related deaths per year by 2030, according to the World Heart Federation. Although most of these diseases may be prevented, population awareness strategies are still ineffective. In this context, we propose the CML-Cardio tool, a machine learning application to automate the risk classification process of developing CVDs.

Explaining machine learning based diagnosis of COVID-19 from routine blood tests with decision trees and criteria graphs.

The sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) revealed the need for fast and reliable automatic tools to help health teams. This paper aims to present understandable solutions based on Machine Learning (ML) techniques to deal with COVID-19 screening in routine blood tests. We tested different ML classifiers in a public dataset from the Hospital Albert Einstein, São Paulo, Brazil.
