4. Healthcare

More available, shared and tailored information – Patients are using Google as a means to diagnose themselves. Nowadays Google health related searches include results for over 900 medical conditions. While the data is there, sometimes it becomes harder to reach if people are unaware of how to find it. As a healthcare organization, you can not only educate the general public and your patient’s on medical conditions, but how to learn more about it. If you come across a post on social media, you can quickly correct diagnosis misalignment by directing the user to a more befitting piece of information. Even offering advice on how to use Google Scholar to search for conditions can go a long way. For example try searching “insomnia treatment” in Google, and then search for “insomnia treatment” in Google Scholar. The reliability and quality of information on the latter search is far superior to the former.
