Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. The goal of this thesis is to exploit electronic health records (EHRs) to provide DM and related pathologies (i.e., cardiovascular diseases) diagnosis. The main challenges are identifying EHR meaningful features and to provide robust diagnosis. In this context, the candidate will be required to study, investigate and apply machine-learning approaches for data-driven diagnosis of DM.
