Infodemiology

Infodemiology was defined by Gunther Eysenbach in the early 2000s as information epidemiology.[1] It is an area of science research focused on scanning the internet for user-contributed health-related content, with the ultimate goal of improving public health.[1][2][3] Later, it is also defined as the science of mitigating public health problems resulting from an infodemic.[4]
