Tech giant Google has tied up with doctors to give qualified information curated by them to identify diseases based on symptoms, its Senior Vice President - Search and Assistant, Ben Gomes said here on Tuesday.
Interacting with students of his alma mater St Joseph School here, Gomes responded to a question regarding dealing with inaccuracies on the web in diagnosing diseases.
A student Claudius said there were chances that people might be misled into believing that they have dangerous diseases and would be prone to wrong diagnosis based on the information thrown by Google search engine.
In reply, Gomes said, "Actually we have done a lot work on this.
So, what we did is we tied up with a lot of doctors to find out what the probability of some symptom, what probably the disease is to get the qualified information."
