Cardiovascular diseases cover a large quantity of worldwide disease load, setting it to top leading cause of death. In the Philippines, given the rapid economic advancement and urbanization, the most vulnerable sector has not been impacted by this development. Data from the Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA) in 2016 revealed that of the country's total recorded deaths, six out of ten were medically unattended and of which the largest portion are from the rural population. Consequently, medical analysis is needed to perform effectively and precisely however, most developing countries have limited resources and lack medical expert for specialized field such as cardiologists. The proponents essentially seeks to address the issues Philippine health sector specifically in rural and remote populace by executing efficient and low-cost health screening and diseases prediction system using commercially available medical devices and machine learning algorithms for the prediction of three of the most heart diseases (Hypertension, Heart Attack, Diabetes). The system is composed of CAREdio mobile app, prototype hardware consists of different health sensors and devices, and a machine learning model that is applied to determine the user's individual probability of having a specific heart disease. The machine learning models used were trained using the data gathered from Rosario Reyes Health Center and Ospital ng Sampaloc (Sampaloc Hospital), both located in Manila City, Philippines. CAREdio achieves accuracy values over 0.80 for all diseases. The system can diagnose multiple cardiovascular diseases in a single app that will benefit people rural communities.
