Google announced that it is testing a new feature that will allow users to program medical appointments from the company’s own web browser. The new tool is part of an agreement between the Internet giant and the company MinuteClinic.
GOOGLE: It will be an algorithm between medical specialties and appointments
The feature, which should be available in the coming weeks, will make it possible for those who make a search related to a medical specialty. As well as with a nearby care center, obtain information to Schedule Appointment in the shortest possible time.
“When people have questions about their health, they often turn to the Internet to find answers. Regardless of what people are looking for on Google Search. Our mission is to provide high quality information, exactly when it is needed”, they point out from Google.
In the case of those searches that directly involve Minute Clinic. A tab will be displayed showing the days available to schedule the medical appointment directly from the search engine itself.
This feature is only available in English
At the moment this function only available in english for users in the United States. However, the most predictable is that new languages and countries will be incorporated as its use spreads.
“While we are still in the early stages of implementing this feature, we are working with partners. Including MinuteClinic on CVS and other scheduling solution providers. We look forward to expanding the features, functionality and our partner network so we can make it easier for people to get the care they need.”
It is not the first time that GOOGLE surprises us
This is not the first health-focused feature Google has launched on the market. Well, they previously implemented an option that allows know the languages in which the patient you can contact your doctor.
The idea behind this tool is that people who do not understand English can communicate with your doctors more easily and accurately. Which greatly helps with your diagnosis.
Also, users can search for the name of a specialist or medical institution and the system automatically shows them if the health provider accepts Medicare.
