Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized health informatics by enabling advanced predictive analytics, personalized treatment strategies, and efficient healthcare management. Among the various applications, the prediction of diabetes mellitus using machine learning has gained significant attention due to the rising prevalence of the disease worldwide. This literature review aims to critically examine the recent developments in AI-driven diabetes prediction, exploring diverse methodologies, datasets, and outcomes. It also contextualizes the evolution of research in this domain, highlighting key thematic trends and methodological approaches. The review is organized primarily thematically, focusing on different machine learning techniques, data sources, and validation methods employed in recent studies. The ultimate goal is to synthesize existing knowledge to inform future research directions and practical implementations in predictive healthcare.

Body

The application of AI in diabetes prediction is a rapidly advancing field, with researchers employing various machine learning algorithms to enhance accuracy and clinical applicability. Early studies primarily utilized traditional statistical models, such as logistic regression, to identify risk factors associated with diabetes. However, the advent of more sophisticated machine learning techniques has significantly improved predictive performance. For example, decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks are now commonly used to classify individuals at risk based on demographic, clinical, and lifestyle data (Smith et al., 2018; Zhang & Huang, 2019).

Recent literature demonstrates a trend toward utilizing large, heterogeneous datasets sourced from electronic health records (EHRs), wearable devices, and population-based surveys. This data diversity enables the development of more robust and generalizable models. For instance, Kumar et al. (2020) employed a deep learning approach on EHR data to predict diabetes onset with high sensitivity and specificity, outperforming traditional models. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have shown particular promise in capturing temporal patterns and complex relationships within longitudinal health data, further enhancing prediction accuracy (Li et al., 2021).

Methodologically, studies vary regarding feature selection, data preprocessing, and validation techniques. Some authors emphasize the importance of feature engineering to improve model interpretability and performance (Yao & Zhao, 2020). Cross-validation and external validation are frequently employed to assess model robustness, with external validation considered crucial for clinical application (Chen et al., 2022). Interpretability remains a significant challenge, as more complex models like deep neural networks often act as "black boxes." Recent efforts focus on explainable AI (XAI) methods to elucidate decision-making processes, making models more acceptable in clinical contexts (Gao et al., 2021).

Despite promising advancements, challenges persist. Data quality issues, such as missing data and measurement biases, can impact model reliability. Moreover, the majority of studies are conducted in specific populations, raising concerns about generalizability across diverse demographic groups. Ethical considerations, including privacy preservation and bias mitigation, are increasingly recognized as essential to responsible AI deployment in healthcare (Liu & Wang, 2022). Overall, current literature suggests that integrating machine learning with high-quality, representative datasets holds significant potential for improving diabetes prediction and early intervention strategies.

Conclusions

Reviewing the recent literature reveals a dynamic landscape where machine learning techniques are progressively refining diabetes prediction models. The shift towards leveraging large-scale, multimodal datasets and advanced algorithms such as deep learning indicates a move towards more accurate and personalized risk assessments. Nevertheless, issues related to data quality, model interpretability, and generalizability still need addressing before these models can be confidently adopted in clinical practice. Future research should prioritize developing explainable, transparent, and ethically responsible AI systems, incorporating diverse populations to ensure equity in healthcare. This review underscores the crucial role that continued methodological innovation and rigorous validation will play in translating AI-driven models from research prototypes to routine clinical tools, ultimately contributing to improved diabetes management and preventive care.
