Objectives: In Indonesia, the poor prognosis and high hospital readmission rates of patients with heart failure (HF) have yet to receive focused attention. However, machine learning (ML) approaches can help to mitigate these problems. We aimed to determine which ML models best predicted HF severity and hospital readmissions and could be used in a patient self-monitoring mobile application. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we collected the data of patients admitted with HF to the Siloam Diagram Heart Center in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Data was analyzed using the Orange data mining classification method. ML support algorithms, including artificial neural network (ANN), random forest, gradient boosting, Naïve Bayes, tree-based models, and logistic regression were used to predict HF severity and hospital readmissions. The performance of these models was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, and F1-scores. Results: Of the 543 patients with HF, 3 (0.56%) were excluded due to death on admission. Hospital readmission occurred in 138 patients (25.6%). Of the six algorithms tested, ANN showed the best performance in predicting both HF severity (AUC = 1.000, accuracy = 0.998, F1-score = 0.998) and readmission for HF (AUC = 0.998, accuracy = 0.975, F1-score = 0.972). Other studies have shown variable results for the best algorithm to predict hospital readmission in patients with HF. Conclusions The ANN algorithm performed best in predicting HF severity and hospital readmissions and will be integrated into a mobile application for patient self-monitoring to prevent readmissions.
