In order to explore the role of social media in forming an understanding of digital healthcare, we conducted a study involving sentiment and network analysis of Twitter contents. In doing this, we gathered 20,400 tweets that mentioned the key term #DigitalHealth for 55 hours, over a three-day period. In addition to examining users' opinions through sentiment analysis, we calculated in-degree centralities of nodes to identify the hubs in the network of interactions. The results suggest that the overall opinion about digital healthcare is generally positive. Additionally, our findings indicate that the most prevalent keywords, associated with digital health, widely range from mobile health to wearable technologies and big data. Surprisingly, the results show that the newly announced wearable technologies could occupy the majority of discussions.
为了探究社交媒体在形成对数字医疗保健的理解中所起的作用,我们开展了一项研究,对推特内容进行情感和网络分析。在此过程中,我们在三天时间里收集了55小时提及关键词#数字健康的20400条推文。除了通过情感分析来审视用户观点外,我们还计算了节点的入度中心性,以识别互动网络中的枢纽。结果表明,关于数字医疗保健的总体看法普遍积极。此外,我们的研究结果表明,与数字健康相关的最普遍关键词范围广泛,从移动健康到可穿戴技术和大数据。令人惊讶的是,结果显示新发布的可穿戴技术占据了大部分讨论内容。
