Abstract
Automatic diabetes prediction using machine learning and Explainable AI (XAI) has emerged as a promising approach for early detection and improved patient outcomes. This study investigates the current landscape of XAI research in diabetes diagnosis. The paper examines the transition from basic machine learning algorithms to complex deep learning models, emphasizing the importance of data quality and data preprocessing for accurate and interpretable results, particularly when dealing with tabular data from medical records. The integration of XAI techniques allows us to understand how these models arrive at their predictions, fostering trust and transparency. Despite these advancements, limitations remain. The generalizability of findings based on limited datasets needs further exploration through studies using more diverse data sources and real-world clinical settings. Additionally, the potential of XAI in diabetes management can be further enhanced by integrating these models with mobile applications and Internet of Things (IoT) sensor technology, paving the way for personalized and continuous monitoring. In conclusion, XAI research in diabetes prediction holds immense potential for improving healthcare delivery. By addressing current limitations and exploring new avenues of research, XAI can empower healthcare professionals and patients in the fight against diabetes.
