Construction and Application of Knowledge Graph for Food Therapy

Abstract

As healthcare popularity increases, more people use food therapy for nourishment and healing. However, without scientific guidance, it's difficult to select appropriate foods for specific needs. To address the issue, we extract knowledge from TCMSP and professional books and fuse the data from different sources. Next, the Food Therapy Knowledge Graph (FTKG) is constructed. Finally, a food therapy system is developed that integrates the concept of TCMSP and FTKG, which uses the efficient knowledge retrieval and knowledge reasoning ability of the knowledge graph. It provides scientific food therapy solutions by analyzing symptoms and substituting traditional Chinese medicine with food, s address individual health needs.
