Google just turbocharged its health features. The tech giant unleashed new AI-powered search tools and medical record APIs. They're determined to keep you from running to Reddit for health advice.
The search engine now offers expanded knowledge panels for thousands of medical conditions. It understands health queries in Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. A new "What People Suggest" feature collects real patient experiences from across the web.
Google's Health Connect platform got beefier too. New APIs let Android users sync medical records across apps. The system handles everything from allergies to lab results, making your phone a pocket-sized medical file.
Why this matters:
Google fights to keep health seekers from fleeing to Reddit – turns out Dr. Google wants a second opinion from actual patients
Your medical records might finally escape their PDF prison, though convincing doctors to share them remains the real challenge
