Crowdfunding for medical expenses has become a popular method of covering health care costs in response to unmet medical needs owing to a lack of adequate insurance coverage [1]. Indeed, approximately 22% of adults in the United States reported that they have donated to medical campaigns on Go Fund Me.

A Disease Identification Algorithm for Medical Crowdfunding Campaigns: Validation Study
As of April 2019, more than US $3 billion was raised for personal medical expenses on Go Fund Me (Go Fund Me Inc)—the largest web-based crowdfunding platform. To understand how different patient populations are impacted by medical expenses, recent studies have used data from Go Fund Me to identify campaigns associated with specific, narrowly defined medical conditions, focusing on, for example, cancer [4,5], injuries [6], or neurologic diseases [7].
