An Ontology-Based Content Provision System to Advance Child Obesity Management Platforms

초록

The 2014 National Health and Nutrition Survey of Korea reported that child/teenager obesity rates are 11.5% in 6-18 year olds, 5.9% in 6-11 year olds, and 15.5% in 12-18 year olds. Child obesity is a disease caused by changes in social environment structure and may become a chronic disease that leads to adult obesity; thus, prevention and management are becoming increasingly critical. Education and policies for obesity prevention are in place in Korea, but their effects are limited and temporary because no personalized education is provided. Therefore, this study proposes a service using data to set up obesity-related guidelines by using an ontology-based JENA engine to provide content tailored for child obesity. The goal of this study is to aid in obesity prevention and management by providing customized obesity-related content as contextual information for obese children and teenagers through ontology-based guidelines. © 2016 SERSC.
