Abstract

BACKGROUND: Personalised recommendations for action and coping plans for physical activity (PA) may reduce user burden and increase plan quality. Ontologies are a promising alternative to existing black-box approaches for creating such personalised recommendations as they are able to integrate knowledge from domain experts, input from end-users and data. Here, we report the development of an ontology of physical activities action and coping plans relevant for primary prevention.
