Big data analytics and sentiment analysis for health misinformation detection: a systematic literature review of...

The study aimed to identify the factors influencing big data analytics (BDA) and sentiment analysis (SA) for health misinformation detection and associated challenges for the adoption of BDA and SA across health ecosystems. The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology was applied for addressing the study's objectives. Thirty most relevant seminal studies (peer-reviewed articles and conference proceedings) were retrieved from 11 digital platforms to conduct the SLR. Results of the study showed that advanced deep learning architectures, feature engineering, sentiment intelligence, real-time analytics, and human-centered verification were key factors that influenced big data analytics and sentiment analysis based health misinformation detection. It was also identified that annotation limitations, scalability constraints, domain adaptation challenges, ethical concerns, and sustainability challenges negatively impacted the adoption of big data and sentiment driven health misinformation detection systems. The study has developed a data-driven framework to effectively adopt and sustain big data analytics and sentiment analysis to detect health misinformation.
