Google has announced today that anyone in India searching for health information can now get it more quickly and easily with the launch of new health cards in the Knowledge Graph. Google worked with Apollo Hospitals and Columbia Asia Hospitals to review the content, and the health information covers over 400 health conditions including those common to India like malaria and dengue fever.
Now when people ask Google about common health conditions they will see information cards with typical symptoms, as well as details on how common the condition is, whether it’s critical, if it’s contagious, what ages it affects, and more.
India is the third country after the US and Brazil to have health information in the Knowledge Graph and the cards are available in Hindi and English, and cover common local conditions.
People will be able to see these new cards when they search for conditions with the Google app on Android or iOS phones and tablets, as well as mobile and desktop browsers. You can also search by symptom, so if you look for “Madras eye symptoms” you’ll be taken straight to the symptom tab and you can easily download a PDF copy of these to print.
