This article is devoted to the identification of early diagnosis of respiratory lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia, to reduce mortality and prevent complications. One of the most effective methods of structuring data is the Decision Tree model. The research focuses on the development and evaluation of a decision tree model, which is used to obtain data in the form of questionnaires, text files from patients, where they describe in detail the entire process of the disease, describing their symptoms and general condition at different time periods. There are a few criteria that patients must answer for a more accurate diagnosis. The developed methodology will allow processing relevant data with various symptoms to obtain reliable identification of the signs of the disease, as well as the stages of its progression; this can be done without the use of complex and high-tech devices that make diagnosis very accessible and feasible in the shortest possible time, if resources and time are limited. The article describes the model, carefully collected, and processed the necessary data, and then the results will be described in detail, covering many indicators such as accuracy, responsiveness, F1 score and ROC-AUC. The results of this analysis strongly suggest that this model is effective enough to provide a high level of accuracy combined with extensive capabilities, which determines its practical importance for use in real conditions. It is noted that the decision tree model can significantly improve the quality of diagnostics, since it is possible to structure a large amount of data and thus collect many years of human experience.
