Long COVID research must continue! Covid is not over.
Publication alert from the Deep Digital Phenotyping Research Unit at the Luxembourg Institute of Health. We've published our paper in Frontiers in Public Health on Long COVID profiles using 27,216 #Reddit posts.

Key Findings:
- More than 78% of posts mention a Long COVID symptom; fatigue, pain, and clouded consciousness lead.
- We identified different symptom categories: general, neurological, mental health, body pain, and cardiorespiratory.
- The study highlights the power of social media data in characterizing Long COVID's diversity.

Why This Matters:
- Long COVID, first described on social media, needs more research.
- Our #AI methods reveal subtle Long COVID subgroups, challenging the notion of homogeneity.
- This work shows methodological strength, similar to traditional studies but at lower cost.
A Milestone and a Shift:
Our first paper on #Reddit, as #Twitter / #X is now costly for academia. Thank you, Elon!
