Abstract

A comprehensive system for automated medical data analysis and diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease using artificial intelligence has been developed. The system consists of several modules: medical data aggregation, AI model training using advanced machine learning algorithms, Explainable AI generating reports, and patient diagnosis by ensemble model. Those models have achieved diagnostic accuracy higher than 95%, and the system is designed for continuous improvement by aggregating more data and automatically retraining models. It is a modern, flexible, and scalable tool designed to support medical diagnosis. It can make doctors’ work easier and faster, and the discovered biomarkers of a disease can increase the quality of its diagnosis. The ensemble model generating diagnoses achieved nearly perfect quality and, using explainable artificial intelligence, it was possible to determine attributes and their values that constitute non-alcoholic-fatty-liver-disease (NAFLD) biomarkers.
