Notwithstanding the highly successful outcomes, the
model was not without limitations. For instance, the real-
time performance was slightly deteriorated when loading
high-resolution images and long-time-series data at the
same time. This was partially addressed by model
optimization, exploring lighter models like MobileNet or
efficient transformers could be investigated for future
versions. Moreover, the explainability modules for
structured data were quite effective, although the provision
of visual explanatory for time-series predictions is still an
open problem and a topic of current research. Table 4
shows the Performance Comparison Across Disease
Categories.
In general, the experimental results together with the
clinicians' feedback, indicate the capability and
effectiveness of the proposed ensemble model as a
practical, accurate, and interpretable diagnostic aid. Its
flexible adaptability to various disease types, the feature to
combine different data formats, and the capability to
perform under real-life restrictions makes it an invaluable
tool for advanced personalized early disease detection and
intervention, being in full accordance with today’s aims in
healthcare.
6 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, an advanced and robust ensemble learning
framework for the early detection and classification of
infectious and chronic diseases is proposed. Leveraging the
integration of various data sources and the power of
ensemble learning, BigPBM exhibits state-of-the-art
predictive performance, model interpretability, and
generalizability under various clinical contexts. The
integration of explainable AI tools brings transparency to
diagnostic decisions, which is important for building the
trust of healthcare providers. Moreover, due to the
performance of imbalanced data, real-time performance,
end-to-end deployment and maximum support for cloud
and edge lines, it is suitable for actual medical scenarios in
the world (even in the low-resource case). The proposed
framework has been extensively evaluated and tested on
real clinical datasets, and according to clinician feedback it
is, in addition to being technically sound, also relevant in
clinical practice providing a fast and efficient solution for
the increasing demands on modern health.
