Due to the importance of COVID-19 control, innovative methods for predicting cases using social network data are increasingly under attention. This study aims to predict confirmed COVID-19 cases using X (Twitter) social network data (tweets) and deep learning methods. We prepare data extracted from tweets by natural language processing (NLP) and consider the daily G-value (growth rate) as the target variable of COVID-19, collected from the worldometer.

Methodology: This study will be conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to evaluate the features of EW/TTS in terms of their automated features, technologies, and algorithms. To this end, we will include any English articles reporting an EW/TTS without time limitation.
Participants: Four electronic databases were searched on March 6, 2020 including Scopus, PubMed, ISI, and Embase.
Methods: Our search consisted of concepts of "self-care," "elderly" and "Mobile device." English journal papers and, RCTs conducted for individuals older than 60 in the last 10 years were included.
Background: Patients with colorectal cancer who undergo surgery face many postoperative problems. These problems include the risk of relapse, side effects, and long-term complications.
Objective: This study sought to design and develop a remote monitoring system as a technological solution for the postdischarge care of these patients.
Background: COVID-19 is a global public health problem that is crucially important to be diagnosed in the early stages. This study aimed to investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to process X-ray-oriented images to diagnose COVID-19 disease.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in Medline (through PubMed), Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and IEEE Xplore Digital Library to identify relevant studies published until 21 September 2020.
Unlabelled: The early warning system alarms the rapid response team (RRT) for clinical deterioration monitoring and prediction. Available systems do not perform well to decrease the number of ICU transfers or death. This study aimed to address the requirement of an intelligent warning system for timely and accurate RRT activation.
