diseases encompass a wide range of conditions in which the immune system reacts
abnormally to harmless substances, leading to various symptoms and health
complications. Anaphylaxis is a serious life-threatening generalized or
systemic hypersensitivity reaction.[1] Mainly it is thought to be a serious
systemic hypersensitivity reaction that is usually rapid in onset and may cause
death.[2] It is triggered by exposure to specific allergens, such as certain
foods, medications, insect stings, or latex.[3] The conventional approach to
diagnosing anaphylaxis involves in-person consultations with healthcare
professionals, including physicians, allergists, and immunologists.[4] However,
this process can be time-consuming, costly, and dependent on the availability
of specialized medical expertise. Identifying anaphylaxis as positive or
negative is complex due to the similarity of its symptoms with common ailments,
requiring the physician's expertise. However, manual identification can cause
accuracy issues, leading to incorrect diagnoses and prescriptions. To address
these challenges and provide a more efficient disease diagnosis system, this
research aims to harness machine learning techniques. Specifically, a CNN-based
analysis is employed to predict whether a patient has anaphylaxis. Moreover,
the system's functionality extends beyond diagnosis. If anaphylaxis is
positively identified, the system initiates the process of recommending the
administration of adrenaline. In the case of patients aged less than 12, a
specialized mathematical equation is applied to calculate the appropriate
dosage of adrenaline based on the patient's age. Conversely, if the system
determines a negative anaphylaxis diagnosis, it reevaluates the input symptoms
and matches them with suitable specialists. The system maintains a repository
of physicians categorized by their areas of expertise, allowing it to output
both the specialist's field and the name of the corresponding physician for
patient referral.
