Abstract

In the current scenario, web sources are flooded with information and the user can search for needed information from it. The output of the search keyword may be relevant or irrelevant despite the search keyword. Since the vast majority of the web sources are finding their results syntactically than semantically. So, the machine must understand the meaning of the search keyword to give relevant search results. The responsibility of researchers is to find the solution for Patient Monitoring System, which must give an accurate result for the search keyword. There is a need to construct the Patient Monitoring System with the support of ontology. Every detail of the patient and their health information must be stored in the Ontology.

This research work focuses on the importance of ontology based system for the patient monitoring system. The domain ontology has been constructed to preserve the details of the patient health issues. This system consists of four phases includes Domain ontology construction, Pre-processing, Rule construction and Reasoning of Query. After the validity of the query, ...
