The use of knowledge resources in the digital health domain is a trending activity significantly grown in the last decade. In this paper, we present two extensions of HeLiS, an ontology aiming to provide in tandem a representation of both the food and physical activity domains and the definition of concepts enabling the monitoring of users’ actions and of their unhealthy behaviors. The presented extensions focus on two aspects: the modeling of relationships between food categories and the most common chronic diseases and a top-level layer representing the barriers that users may encounter during the self-management of their lifestyles and/or their chronic diseases. We describe the construction process and the main concepts that have been included.

Abstract
The use of knowledge resources in the digital health domain is a trending activity significantly grown in the last decade. In this paper, we present two extensions of HeLiS, an ontology aiming to provide in tandem a representation of both the food and physical activity domains and the definition of concepts enabling the monitoring of users’ actions and of their unhealthy behaviors. The presented extensions focus on two aspects: the modeling of relationships between food categories and the most common chronic diseases and a top-level layer representing the barriers that users may encounter during the self-management of their lifestyles and/or their chronic diseases. We describe the construction process and the main concepts that have been included.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
