Abstract

BACKGROUND: In this era of active online communication, patients increasingly share their healthcare experiences, concerns, and needs across digital platforms. Leveraging these vast repositories of real-world information, Digital Listening enables the systematic collection and analysis of patient voices through advanced technologies. Semantic-NLP artificial intelligence, with its ability to process and extract meaningful insights from large volumes of unstructured online data, represents a novel approach for understanding patient perspectives. This study aimed to demonstrate the utility of Semantic-NLP technology in presenting the needs and concerns of patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Korea and Taiwan.
