Public Interest in Dry Eye Disease and Its Association With Environmental Parameters in Taiwan: Google Trends Infodemiology Study

Public Interest in Dry Eye Disease and Its Association With Environmental Parameters in Taiwan: Google Trends Infodemiology Study

Thus, infodemiology research allows researchers to track disease awareness and behavioral trends at a population level. By analyzing search patterns, we can capture the public’s real-time interest, helping to identify gaps between public knowledge and clinical understanding [8]. Google Trends (GT), a tool that tracks real-time search queries, has emerged as a valuable platform for analyzing public interest in ocular or environmental health conditions [9-11].

The term “infodemiology” was created in 2002 by Gunther Eysenbach in an attempt to describe an approach for revolutionizing public health by using data monitoring and mining [1-3]. It is defined as “the science of distribution and determinants of information in an electronic medium, specifically the internet, or in a population, with the ultimate aim to inform public health and public policy” [3].

This patient-driven shift to online platforms has given rise to the scientific field of infodemiology, defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of information on the internet to inform public health [11]. A core application is infoveillance, the process of using this data for real-time public health surveillance.

Seasonal Variation in Public Interest in Gout: Longitudinal Infodemiology Study Using Google Trends (2014–2024)

Infodemiology is a term coined by health informatics specialist Gunther Eysenbach [22]. It refers to studying the distribution and determinants of information on the internet and its impact on public health and policy. As a discipline, infodemiology is particularly valuable in tracking and analyzing the dynamics of chronic inflammatory diseases, especially in understanding their seasonality, how symptoms and disease activity may fluctuate with changes in the environment across different times of the year.
