Diabetes is a major non-communicable disease, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh [1]. Effective management requires continuous monitoring, early prediction, and timely intervention, all of which relies on structured, comprehensive, and accessible health data [2]-[4]. However, Bangladesh’s healthcare system suffers from fragmented data, inconsistent record-keeping, and limited batch-based analytics, hindering clinical decision-making and national efforts to improve chronic disease outcomes [5]-[7].

In response to these limitations, this study presents the design and implementation of a scalable, multidimensional data warehouse integrated with statistical analysis and machine learning techniques for batch-based diabetes monitoring in Bangladesh [8]-[11]. The system enables interactive querying, advanced analytics, and predictive modelling through a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) by consolidating clinical and demographic data from hospital settings into a centralized platform [11]-[13].

The significant contributions of this paper are as follows:

Development of a hospital-level multidimensional data warehouse using ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) to integrate heterogeneous data. Embedded statistical analyses (ANOVA, Chi-square) to identify associations between clinical variables, lifestyle factors, and outcomes. The evaluation and deployment of multiple supervised machine learning models for batch-based diabetes type prediction, with Logistic Regression achieving the best performance metrics and being integrated into a GUI for practical use.

The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 reviews related literature; Section 3 outlines the methodology, including data collection, warehouse design, statistical analysis, and machine learning; Section 4 presents results; and Section 5 concludes with future research directions.

Extensive research has advanced health data warehousing and diabetes monitoring, particularly in low-resource settings. Khan (2022) proposed a national health data warehouse for Bangladesh, highlighting infrastructural and policy challenges [1], while Khan and Hoque (2016) identified technical and organizational barriers to data integration and interoperability [5].

Methodologically, Ronaldson et al.(2022) applied Structural Equation Modelling on clinical data to study Diabetes-depression links, emphasizing multidimensional analysis, and Sakibet al.(2022) demonstrated AI-based data warehousing for intelligent healthcare decision-making [6][7].

Technological innovations include Rghioui et al. (2020, 2019) on intelligent monitoring and glucose classification [11][14], Alfian et al. (2018) on BLE-based real-time healthcare systems, and Breault et al. (2002) on early data mining in diabetes warehouses [12][13]. Recent work by Emad Ali et al. (2024) and Suraka & Gayathri (2022) focused on real-time patient monitoring using machine learning, while Lee et al. (2010) and Johnson & Miller (2022) addressed advisory systems and remote management of patient-generated data [15]-[18]. Ado et al. (2014) highlighted the strategic role of data warehousing in healthcare decision-making [19].

Existing studies highlight the promise of integrated data warehousing, machine learning, and real-time analytics for diabetes management. However, Bangladesh lacks a context-specific diabetes data warehouse, with systemic issues such as fragmented infrastructure and poor data integration persisting [1][5]. While international models show potential [6][11][12], they are designed for high-resource settings and are not readily applicable to Bangladesh’s resource-constrained healthcare system.

This study proposes a scalable, GUI-enabled multidimensional data warehouse integrated with statistical analysis and machine learning for batch-based diabetes prediction. The system enhances clinical decision-making and supports national digital health transformation by adapting international methodologies to the healthcare context of Bangladesh.

shows a significant association between patients’ gender, treatment cost, and satisfaction level (ANOVA: F = 7.21, p = 0.008), indicating that satisfaction varies with gender and cost. In contrast, shows no significant association between blurred vision and diabetes type (Chi-Square: χ² = 0.21, p = 0.9001).

C)Machine learning-based analysis

The diabetes prediction system was evaluated using supervised machine learning models. Performance metrics included accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and log loss, calculated using the standard formulas below.

Accuracy:Accuracy is the proportion of correctly classified samples to the total number of samples.

Precision: Precision is the proportion of correctly identified positive samples to the total number of samples predicted as positive.

Recall: Recall is the proportion of correctly identified positive samples to the total number of positive samples.

F1 Score: The F1-score is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, providing a metric that balances false positives and false negatives.

where TP represents the true positive, the actual negative is defined by TN; FP represents the false positive, and FN represents the false negative.

The model’s classification performance was also visualized using ROC curves with the corresponding AUC values.

ROC curve: The ROC curve is a graphical representation of a classification model’s performance. It is plotted by comparing the True Positive Rate (TPR) against the False Positive Rate (FPR) at various classification thresholds. The TPR (also known as Recall or Sensitivity) and FPR are calculated using the following formula:

AUC: The AUC represents the area under the ROC curve (from (0,0) to (1,1)), with higher values indicating better model performance in distinguishing between classes.

Categorical Cross-Entropy: Categorical Cross-Entropy (Log Loss) is a common loss function used to evaluate multiclass classification models.

where N is the number of rows or samples, M is the number of classes, y_ij is 1 if sample i belongs to class j; otherwise, it is 0, and P_ij is the probability from our classifier that predicts sample i to classj.

Our proposed system addresses these gaps by combining a scalable, GUI-enabled data warehouse with machine learning and statistical analysis, achieving higher accuracy, lower Log Loss, and improved ROC-AUC, making it more comprehensive and suitable for real-world diabetes management.

D)Batch-based diabetes prediction

After evaluating four supervised algorithms using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, Log Loss, and ROC-AUC, Logistic Regression consistently outperformed the others in robustness, interpretability, and metric performance. It was selected as the core model for the batch-based hospital-level diabetes prediction system in Bangladesh. shows the system architecture, and illustrates the Logistic Regression training process.

The centralized diabetes data warehouse developed for selected hospitals in Bangladesh consolidates fragmented datasets into a unified, GUI-enabled platform, enabling batch-based monitoring, data-driven analysis, and informed clinical decision-making. The system uncovered key insights, such as links between gender, treatment cost, and patient satisfaction, blurred vision and diabetes duration, and diet/exercise with weight loss. By integrating statistical analysis and machine learning, Logistic Regression achieved the best predictive performance (accuracy 81.25%, precision 82.07%, recall 81.3%, F1-score 81.48%, ROC-AUC 0.8278, log loss 0.5029), demonstrating strong reliability for hospital-level implementation. Overall, the system enhances diabetes care, supports targeted interventions, and contributes to Bangladesh’s broader digital health transformation and chronic disease management initiatives.
