Abstract
This chapter explores the transformative potential of integrating knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence in healthcare, focusing on constructing a knowledge-based clinical decision support system (KBCDS). The primary objective is to design an AI-enabled health portal to enhance accessibility to medical advice globally. The study investigates the application of AI in diagnosing COVID-19 and pneumonia, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed, reducing the burden on healthcare systems, and saving lives. The research is based on extensive literature study, delving into the depths of knowledge engineering, AI applications in healthcare, and medical ontology. The findings underscore the transformative potential of the integrated approach, highlighting its impact on healthcare disparities globally. The AI-enabled health portal proves to be a reliable source of medical advice, demonstrating that the fusion of knowledge engineering and AI technologies empowers medical professionals and significantly enhances healthcare accessibility and diagnostic capabilities.
