<p>As technology advances, most people use social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr to share information and communicate with others. The volume of free-text data is growing daily due to the widespread use of these social media platforms. These platforms contain a substantial amount of unstructured information. Patient opinions expressed on social media platforms play a significant role in healthcare improvement and impact health-related policymaking. In this research, we introduce a machine learning approach for the optimal identification of healthcare-related features. This approach is based on a novel synthetic method.
