    ADDRESSING THE INCREASING NUMBER OF DIABETIC PATIENTS THROUGH

    THE APPLICATION OF DESCRIPTIVE, PREDICTIVE AND PRESCRIPTIVE


    ANALYSES
    1.

    Background of the problem:


    Diabetes in the Philippines is a growing health problem affecting the lives of 9.7
    percent of the adult population in 2012. This number tends to double if we add the
    12.5 percent of Filipinos at-risk of diabetes with impaired glucose tolerance.
    Filipinos are regarded to belong to a high-risk diabetic population which should be
    addressed to determine the underlying cause on the risk and act upon the causes to
    minimize or control the growing number.

    2. Introduction of the problem


    This study will determine the underlying reasons of increasing number of diabetic
    patients by considering the lifestyle and the type of food intake the Filipinos are
    exposed to.
    The data shouldn't come as a surprise for a carbohydrate-loading nation, whose
    staple meals include rice, bread, sweet potato, corn and other food with high levels of
    sugar content. Thus, type of lifestyle of Filipinos particularly the food consumption
    affects the increasing number of diabetic patients.
    (Historical data should be placed here)
    3. Possible Solution to the Problem
    If the statistics of diabetic patients will keep on rising with unchanged lifestyle of
    Filipinos, it is possible that population with diabetes will not only increase twice, but
    also three times in the future. Other possible illnesses and sickness may also arise
    due to possible increase in the posssible recorded complications caused by diabetes.
    With the alarming data increase, the government and non-government agencies
    should create a program or health plan or program that may help Filipinos to address
    the problem. Morevoer, to address this problem, proper diet and right choice of
    lifestyle should be observed by Filipinos which includes decrease in the intake of
    staple meals and food with high levels of sugar content.

    Descriptive Analytics, which use data aggregation and data mining techniques to
    provide insight into the past and answer: What has happened? - The current status
    or situation of diabetes in the philippines by providing the historical data/ statistics
    covering probably 10 years.

    Predictive Analytics, which use statistical models and forecasts techniques to


    understand the future and answer: What could happen? If the current situation
    is maintained or becomes worst, what might possibly happen with the Filipino
    lifestyle and health?

    Prescriptive Analytics, which use optimization and simulation algorithms to advice


    on possible outcomes and answer: What should we do? possible solution to the
    problem of the current situation
