This work focuses on the fusion of the Allopathic and Ayurvedic terminologies aimed at improving
holistic healthcare. It was achieved through comparative analysis parsing termed ontology mapping,
semantic juxtaposition, and cross-terminology blending which aims at achieving ontology fusion. Results
show that there exists a large congruency in the constructs of various diagnosed sub divisions and also the
general aim of treatments even when language and treatment concepts differ. The model presented in this
research serves as a basis for incorporating unified terms across various disciplines which enhances crossdisciplinary interaction and patient-sensitive approaches to healthcare.
