First Steps of Asthma Management with a Personalized Ontology Model
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. State of the Art Systems
3. System Architecture
3.1. Data Acquisition
3.2. Representation Layer
- - Which information are necessary for having a detailed description of each context?
- - Which concepts are needed for supporting the design of medical rules allowing patient monitoring?
- - Which data have to be provided by patients to enable reasoning processes?
- -
- Asthma from BioPortal
- -
- Weather and environment ontologies from COPDology [30]
- -
- Food allergens from FoodOn
- -
- Symptoms and pollen concepts from SNOMED-CT
3.3. Reasoning Layer
Patient(?P)^Environment(?Outdoor)^LocatedAt(?P,?Outdoor)^Allergen(PM2.5)^hasCurrentValue(?PM2.5,?CV^hasMinNormalrange(?CV,?Min)^hasMaxNormalRange(CV,Max)^ swrlb:greaterThanOrEqual(?CV,Min)^swrlb:lessThanOrEqual(?CV,Max)->has_alarm_level(?P, No_Risk)
3.4. The Application Layer
4. Implementation
4.1. Design of Ontology Model
4.2. Applicability to Other Domains
- collecting data from asthmatic individual context parameters;
- collecting patient medical profile information;
- identifying and validate medical rules for risk factor control;
- identifying the risk factors of the disease;
- identifying the different recommendations;
- providing disease surveillance services.
