Abstract

Chronic diseases are a persistent and long-lasting human health conditions that lasts for more than three months. Today the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases in Ethiopia increases rapidly because of different reasons like poor nutrition habit, lack of physical activities, drinking alcohols, smoking and life style issues. To overcome this problem different technological applications are developed globally to support both the health professional in diagnosis process and the patients for their self-treatment activities. Ontology helps to create common understanding between human and computers, enable reusability of information, and allows sharing of concepts. Ontology based personalized recommendation model is for diabetic patient in Ethiopian context. We have used design science research methodology in our proposed study. In the development of the proposed model, first we have developed the patient and domain or disease ontology and then the two ontologies needs to integrate in order to develop the required recommendation model. We have used Protégé ontology development tool for the development of the proposed domain or disease and patient ontology. This research discusses how to develop patient and domain or disease ontology and then it also describes how two ontologies need to integrate in order to develop the required recommendation model.
