A web application for predicting diabetes risk using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm and results indicate that the developed application can support early diabetes-risk screening and demonstrate that KNN can be integrated into a web-based prediction system.
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that requires early detection to reduce the risk of serious complications. Limited access to practical screening tools encourages the development of a web-based prediction system that can be accessed independently. This study develops a web application for predicting diabetes risk using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm. The system processes health parameters consisting of glucose level, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), age, and gender. System development applies the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Waterfall model, covering requirements analysis, system design, development, testing, and maintenance. The developed application provides data management, K-value configuration, prediction, and prediction-history features. Black Box testing shows that the implemented functions operate according to the expected scenarios. Accuracy testing using 10 test data produced 10 correct predictions and no incorrect predictions, resulting in an accuracy of 100%. The results indicate that the developed application can support early diabetes-risk screening and demonstrate that KNN can be integrated into a web-based prediction system.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
