Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to manage and prevent the progression of the disease. This study presents the development of a machine learning-based system designed to predict the likelihood of diabetes in individuals using commonly avail- able health parameters. Leveraging the Pima Indians Diabetes Dataset, the system incorporates features such as age, BMI, glucose level, blood pressure, insulin levels, and family history to train and evaluate multiple classification algorithms including Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Among these, the Random Forest model achieved the highest performance with an accuracy of over 85%, precision of 0.90, recall of 0.86, and an F1-score of 0.87. The system also integrates SHAP-based interpretability to provide transparency in predictions, making it suitable for clinical decision support. This approach offers a scalable, cost- effective, and user-friendly solution for early diabetes detection, particularly valuable in resource-constrained healthcare settings.}, keywords = {Diabetes Prediction, Machine Learning, Ran- dom Forest, Artificial Neural Networks, Pima Indians Dataset, SHAP, Early Diagnosis, Clinical Decision Support}, month = {May}, }
