Organ transplants have become one of the most important parts of health care, primarily because of the imbalance between those who need organs and the available organ donor pool. Due to this disparity, choosing the next organ recipient among other candidates can be quite challenging. This process largely relies on several medical criteria, including urgency, compatibility, severity, waiting period, and survival chances. Taking all these aspects into account and processing them manually could be problematic, even leading to biases during prioritisation. The proposed solution is a Smart Organ Transplant Priority Analyzer that facilitates the prioritization of patients waiting for an organ transplant using Machine Learning, SAHP, and SHAP. The tool evaluates patient information, assigns a priority score and category, and provides recommendations on who should be a top candidate to receive the organ. SAHP assigns weights to medical parameters to make sure that crucial factors play a greater role in determining the transplant recipient. Machine Learning algorithms, such as random forests, are used to estimate patients' transplant priority scores. SHAP provides interpretability of results by explaining why a particular outcome was achieved and the contribution of each criterion to that outcome.
