Sources were selected for their relevance to semantic integration, interoperability, and interdisciplinary applicability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Through the standardization of medical concepts, relationships, and terminologies, ontologies enable semantic integration across diverse healthcare datasets, including clinical, genomic, and phenotypic data. They also address challenges such as fragmented data and inconsistent terminologies. This semantic clarity supports AI applications in clinical decision support, predictive analytics, natural language processing (NLP), and patient-specific disease modeling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite their transformative potential, ontology integration faces significant challenges, including computational complexity, scalability, and semantic mismatches across evolving international standards, such as SNOMED CT and HL7 FHIR. Ethical concerns, particularly around data privacy, informed consent, and algorithmic bias, also require careful consideration. To address these challenges, this perspective outlines strategies including adaptive ontology models, robust governance frameworks, and AI-assisted ontology management techniques. Together, these approaches aim to support personalized, accurate, and globally interoperable healthcare systems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fdgth.2025.1668385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]],"date-time":"2025-08-29T05:43:29Z","timestamp":1756446209000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Ontologies as the semantic bridge between artificial intelligence and healthcare"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Radha","family":"Ambalavanan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"R Sterling","family":"Snead","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Marczika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gideon","family":"Towett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Malioukis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mercy","family":"Mbogori-Kairichi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.3390\/info16020106","article-title":"From data silos to health records without borders: a systematic survey on patient-centered data interoperability","volume":"16","author":"Saberi","year":"2025","journal-title":"Information"},{"key":"B2","first-page":"1","article-title":"What is an ontology?","volume-title":"Handbook on Ontologies.
