Abstract
Diabetes is among one of the fastest growing disease all over the world. Controlled diet and proper exercise are considered as a treatment to control diabetes. However, food and exercise suggestions in existing solutions do not consider integrated knowledge from personal profile, preferences, current vital signs, diabetes domain, food domain and exercise domain. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation of diet and exercise. We have implemented an ontology based integrated approach to combine knowledge from various domains to generate diet and exercise suggestions for diabetics. The solution is developed as a Semantic Healthcare Assistant for Diet and Exercise (SHADE). For each domain (person, diabetes, food and exercise) we have defined separate ontology along with rules and then an integrated ontology combines these individual ontologies. Finally, diet recommendations are presented in the form of various alternative menus such that each menu is a healthy and balanced diet.
