Chronic kidney disease, or CKD, causes more deaths than breast cancer or prostate cancer. It is the under-recognized public health crisis. It affects an estimated 37 million people in the U.S. (15% of the adult population; more than 1 in 7 adults) and approximately 90% of those with CKD don’t even know they have it. 1 in 3 American adults (approximately 80 million people) is at risk for CKD. CKD is more common in women (15%) than men (12%). CKD is the 9th leading cause of death in the U.S. In 2016, over 500,000 patients received dialysis treatment, and over 200,000 lived with a kidney transplant.
Even though I am a very young member of this planet, a CS undergrad at NIT Durgapur, India, I decided to figure how AI can help predict, diagnose and treat Chronic Kidney Disease.
Using AI Algorithm built on Microsoft's Azure Machine Learning Architecture, our AI systems can predict whether a patient is affected by Chrnoic Kidney Disease or not.
If our AI Algorithm figure out that you are vulnerable and have been affected by Chronic Kidney Disease then we shall investigate the cause also.
Now, that we have told you about your diagnoseis as well as it's cause, then let's fight it. We'll recommend you certain lifestyle measures that you can take to at least lessen the ill effects of the disease.
