Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in the lungs. According to World Health Organization Asthma is often not properly diagnosed or treated, especially in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. People with untreated asthma can experience disturbed sleep, daytime fatigue, and poor concentration. Detecting the disease at the right time can help to reduce the risk it may cause. Using Semantic Web technologies, this project aims to improve asthma disease diagnosis. We created a domain ontology (AsthmaONTO) that encompasses asthma disease domain knowledge. The ontology includes terminology, relationships, and properties that can be used in the diagnosis of asthma. To diagnose asthma disease and predict the risk of asthma, a set of rules has been developed based on valid links between ontology concepts. It also offers therapy options and recommendations. A domain expert submitted a sample set of individuals with asthma disease, which was used to evaluate the proposed system. The system correctly diagnosed 48 of the 54 cases patients with asthma (ratio of correctness is 88.8%), according to the findings.
