A simple web application which uses Machine Learning algorithm to predict the heart condition of a person by providing some inputs about the person health like age, gender, blood pressure, cholesterol level etc built using Flask and deployed on Heroku.
As being a Data and ML enthusiast I have tried many different projects related to the subject but what I have realised is that Deploying your machine learning model is a key aspect of every ML and Data science project. Everything thing I had studied or been taught so far in my Data science and ML journey had mostly focused on defining problem statement followed by Data collection and preparation, model building and evaluation process which is of course important for every ML/DS project but what if I want different people to interact with my models, how can I make my model available for end-users? I can't send them jupyter notebooks right!. That's why I wanted to try my hands on complete end-to-end machine learning project.

A Demo of the Web App :
This Project is mainly divided into two parts:
- Exploring the dataset and traning the model using
Sklearn. - Building and hosting a
flaskweb app onHeroku.
About the repository Structure :
- Project consist
app.pyscript which is used to run the application and is engine of this app. contians API that gets input from the user and computes a predicted value based on the model. prediction.pycontains code to build and train a Machine learning model.- templates folder contains two files
main.htmlandresult.htmlwhich describe the structure of the app and the way this web application behaves. These files are connected with Python via Flask framework. - static folder contains file
style.csswhich adds some styling and enhance the look of the application.
The Code is written in Python 3.8. If you don't have Python installed you can find it here. If you are using a lower version of Python you can upgrade using the pip package, ensuring you have the latest version of pip. To install the required packages and libraries, run this command in the project directory after cloning the repository:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/asthasharma98/Heart-Disease-Prediction-Deployment.git
To Run the Application
python app.py
Install Heroku CLI as this makes it easy to create and manage your Heroku apps directly from the terminal. You can download it from here.
next step would be to follow the instruction given on Heroku Documentation to deploy a web app.
- improve model performance.
- Add more better styling to the user interface.
- A big thanks to Anuj vyas as I got the desinging idea of web app from his projects on github.
