Abstract
In this paper, we study and compare popular predictive techniques to predict the chronic diseases with the support of health information technology. Interestingly, we show that there is no technique guaranteeing the good predictive outcomes for all diseases. In many cases, the well-known state-of-the-art techniques, such as support vector machine, was significantly outperformed by simpler classical techniques. We also show that using feature selection would improve the predictive performance. However, choosing the right predictive technique is still the crucial factor. Therefore, in health information technology industrial practice, the predictive healthcare system should change from only relying on only one technique to integrating multiple techniques in case-study basis.
