| description | Abstract Maternal mental health during pregnancy is a crucial area of research due to its profound impact on both maternal and child well-being. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to predicting and monitoring psychological health risks in pregnant women using advanced machine learning techniques. The study employs a systematic methodology including data collection, preprocessing, feature selection, and model implementation. Data collection was conducted at Majidia Hospital, involving a diverse sample of 70,000 pregnant women recruited through antenatal clinics, online health platforms, community outreach programs, and telephone surveys using structured questionnaires. Participants were selected across all pregnancy trimesters to ensure a representative demographic, capturing variations in age, educational background, occupational status, and parity. A diverse set of machine learning models, including Random Forest, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes, and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), were evaluated alongside ensemble methods to achieve robust and reliable predictions. The experimental results demonstrate that the Random Forest model consistently outperforms other classifiers with an accuracy of 97.82% ± 0.03%, precision of 97.82% ± 0.03%, recall of 100.00% ± 0.00%, and an F1 score of 96.81% ± 0.02%. SVM and Decision Tree classifiers also showed strong performance, with accuracy scores of 93.79% ± 0.01% and 91.82% ± 0.03%, respectively. Furthermore, ensemble methods enhanced predictive performance, highlighting their ability to balance accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. In regression tasks, the Random Forest Regressor achieved near-perfect predictions with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 4.5767 × 10−8 and an R2 score of 1.000, underscoring its superior predictive capabilities. Additionally, a custom loss function integrating Cross-Entropy Loss and an F1 Score Penalty was introduced to address class imbalance and enhance model performance. The training process, conducted over 10 epochs, demonstrated consistent loss reduction, with the lowest recorded loss at epoch 8 (2.4382), reflecting effective learning and parameter tuning. This study envisions the development of an intelligent, web-based tool aimed at revolutionizing psychological health assessment and support for pregnant women. This tool will not only provide early diagnosis and intervention but also recommend personalized yoga practices and natural remedies to improve maternal mental health and overall wellbeing. These findings highlight the potential of AI-driven innovations in enhancing maternal care through holistic and accessible technological solutions. |
