With an aim to offer health and health care related information quickly in search, Google has improved the Knowledge Graph for Search in India.
The improved Google Search will now offer information cards with typical symptoms, as well as details on whether certain condition is critical or contagious, what ages it affects, and more. The new cards cover over 400 health conditions and have been designed with the Indian context in mind. Available in Hindi and English, the cards cover common tropical conditions like malaria and dengue fever. These cards include images and can be downloaded as PDFs and shared easily. A number cards also come with rich illustrations.
You will see these cards when you search for a disease or a symptom with the Google apps. In case of poor internet connection, users can even load lighter version of cards. The addition of health information in the Knowledge Graph was first rolled out in the US last year followed by Brazil.
The feature is live on Google app and search on Android, iOS, and desktop.
