Google launches new healthcare-related features for Search, Android
Google on Tuesday announced new products and features aimed at healthcare use cases, including improved overviews in Google Search for health queries.
In Search, Google says it’s using AI and ranking systems to expand “knowledge panel” answers on thousands of health-related topics, and adding support for healthcare queries in Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese on mobile. “While people come to Search to find reliable medical information from experts, they also value hearing from others who have similar experiences,” Karen DeSalvo, chief health officer at Google, wrote in a blog post provided to TechCrunch.
