Medical data

Text data and health

Patterns

• “mom” appear frequently
  • not sure why this appears - unexpected but not sure about context
• the NE has a lot of issues - not sure about mechanism
  • also upper midwest - hypothesize sparse population as mechanism
• more issues late at night and winter
• can you extract population patterns from texts to correlate issues

How is data linked to outcomes so the computer can “diagnose”

• certain words are seen as associated with certain issues (particularly)
• set of “training” data

Collecting and sharing these datasets

• beneficial because it provides information about indications of personal issues so they can be helped
• not harmful because there’s no connection between person and information
• important data patterns to share with support professionals
