| dc.description.abstract | Among all other ethnic groups in the USA, native American’s have higher chances of developing diabetes. A lot of tools have been developed to address this issue and help them in managing diabetes. However, these tools fail to address two major issues, first, the focus on research and need of Native Americans, and second, the intuitive user interface to use the functions available in these tools without requiring a complex knowledge of technology. This project focuses on reducing these two gaps. The project uses the underlying knowledge base to provide personalized recommendations and leverages the benefit of smart speakers to deliver the service to the user’s which is highly intuitive and less demanding technologically. This project utilizes Ontology as a knowledge base and Amazon’s Alexa platform for the initial experiment to provide personalized recommendations to the users. | en_US |
