performing a machine learning technique with regularization of the at least one person-to-person distance to predict the non-communicable disease with infectious risk factors; and

initiating a course of medical treatment responsive to an affirmative prediction.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more risk factors are detected using a detector to perform a relevant keyword search to identify results for extraction using one or more data mining techniques.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering one or more actions in response to determining that a person is at risk of developing a non-communicable disease.
