This study developed an artificial intelligence model using fuzzy cognitive maps for early diabetes detection. The AI model achieved 95% accuracy, aiding clinical decisions and improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
- Computational Health Informatics
- Diabetes Mellitus Research
Context:
- Diabetes mellitus is a global chronic disease with increasing prevalence and mortality.
- Early identification of diabetes is crucial for effective management and complication prevention.
- Existing diagnostic methods may benefit from advanced predictive modeling.
Purpose:
- To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for supporting clinical decision-making in early diabetes detection.
- To leverage fuzzy cognitive maps for predictive modeling of diabetes risk.
- To evaluate the performance of the AI model using accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity.
Summary:
- A cross-sectional study utilized patient data (age, signs, symptoms) to build a fuzzy cognitive map model.
- The AI model achieved a high predictive accuracy of 95% for diabetes identification.
- Simulated iterations provided insights into the dynamics of diabetes risk factors.
Impact:
- Fuzzy cognitive maps show significant potential for early diabetes identification and clinical decision support.
- The developed model can enhance medical practice by improving patient outcomes in diabetes care.
- This AI approach offers a valuable tool for proactive management of diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
