Identifying Language Features Associated With Needs of Ovarian Cancer Patients and Caregivers Using Social Media

Conclusions We demonstrate the potential of using OHCs to supplement traditional needs assessment. Further research would incorporate additional information (eg, trajectory, stage) for more sophisticated models. Implications for Practice This study shows the potential of automated classification to leverage OHCs for needs assessment. Our approach can be applied to different types of cancer and enhanced by using domain-specific information.
