Description
Twitter is a social media platform that can be use to disseminate information. It has been estimated to have > 300 million monthly users. Twitter activity related to neurological disorders is a topic of interest given paucity of the data on the topic in mainstream medical literature. The data inform clinicians on topics of interest to people with neurological disorders or the public who comment on these topics. Data have been prospectively collected since August 2018. The project will be useful in learning how to extract data from social media and analyse using data science platforms.
