Goal of Project:

Using two-year health data from the CDC to create visuals for the data and using an ML model to predict the outcome.

Problem-Statement:

Visualization of the data is currently focused towards simple monitoring and tracking. This presents a unique challenge for visualization and interactivity; the new dashboard will solve for this by providing:

  • Improved Interactivity and data insights.
  • Improved trend visualization featuring heat-mapping for data.
  • Healthcare and Mental Health Resource Needs:
  • Insurance levels across the United States (create a dashboard that allows users to see the various areas of the US that have coverage and the density of coverage).
  • Display general healthcare & mental health trends across the US.

Due to the heavy volume of data if we use all of the data points from the CDC (1 to 3 million datapoints per year), filtering on five (7) health data points and thirteen (13) states would be the best approach.

Health data points:

  • Cancer (except Skin)
  • Coronary Heart Disease
  • COPD
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Health Insurance
  • Annual Checkup

Thirteen (13) states:

  • Alabama
  • Arizona
  • Arkansas
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • District of Columbia
  • Georgia
  • Hawaii
  • Idaho
  • Illinois
  • Indiana

For Machine Learning:

We'll be using the KNN model since we have two years of data for comparison.
