About the Project NeuroSense AI is a simple machine learning project designed to predict Alzheimer’s disease using patient health data. It helps understand which features are most important for early detection and supports decision-making in healthcare.
Inspiration
Alzheimer’s is a growing health challenge worldwide. Early detection can help patients and families plan treatment and care. Inspired to use AI for healthcare, we created NeuroSense AI to make data-driven predictions accessible for beginners and researchers alike.
What it does
Reads patient health datasets
Trains a Random Forest model to predict Alzheimer’s
Shows model accuracy and important health features
Helps visualize which factors contribute most to disease prediction
How we built it
Google Colab for coding and running ML workflow
Pandas to read and handle data
Scikit-learn for model building (Random Forest Classifier)
Matplotlib to plot feature importance
GitHub to host code and track changes
Challenges we ran into
Handling datasets with non-numeric values → solved with pd.get_dummies()
Choosing the right features for the model
Ensuring beginner-friendly workflow with clear outputs
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Built a fully functional ML model for Alzheimer’s prediction
Visualized top features that influence the model
Created a step-by-step beginner-friendly Colab notebook
Successfully tested the model and calculated accuracy
What we learned
How to preprocess data and handle categorical variables
How to train and evaluate a machine learning model
Importance of visualizing model results for better understanding
How to make a simple yet functional ML project for healthcare
What's next for NeuroSense AI
Expand the dataset to include more features for better prediction
Add a web interface for interactive predictions
Explore other ML models to improve accuracy
Collaborate with healthcare professionals for real-world testing
