What Do Patients Tell Doctors On The Internet? Ask Ai How To Valorize Online Medical Conversations

In this paper, using Reddit, we investigated on the efficacy of using an AI-based mood analysis methodology to understand how the prescription of different prenatal diagnostic tests (invasive vs non-invasive), and their corresponding outcomes, may have an impact onto the mood of parents-to-be. We found an interesting causal relationship between tests and mood that deserves a deeper comprehension by means of healthcare professionals. We have also demonstrated that combining AI-based dialogue analysis methodologies with advanced statistics may bring to a smart model, suitable for transforming a large amount of empirical data into correct medical interpretations.
