Google is converted into the means of medical diagnostics

Doctors increasingly more actively they call to be turned to the search system Google, capable soak by them with the diagnosis of the most complex diseases.

In the course of experiment search machine found in the Internet correct diagnosis in 58 % difficult cases.

Researchers from the hospital of the princess of Alexandra in Brisbene, Australia, selected 26 difficult for the doctors cases from periodical Journal of Medicine, which emerges in new England, and conducted search in Google on the keywords.

Then they arbitrarily selected the diagnoses, found in the Internet, and compared them with the correct diagnoses, represented in the periodical. Of 26 cases of Google gave the correct answer into 15 of them.
In this case the experts assert that, if search with the aid of Google conduct doctors, they obtain the best result, than patients, for which with more difficulty to select correct diagnosis.

The detailed results of a study were published in the British medical periodical (BMJ). It is indicated at conclusion of article that doctor and the patients ever more and more effectively work with the Internet and frequently they use Google for retrieval for medical information.

in the course of our study we came to the conclusion that in complex, from the point of view of diagnosis the cases, it is often useful to compare diagnosis with Google.

net search machines of the type Google become important tool in clinical medicine, and to doctors it is necessary to give the habits of the use of these systems, note the authors.

The press- secretary of the association of the protection of the rights of patients has on this score another opinion: if doctors with the diagnosis of diseases begin to widely use Web sites, this cannot but cause serious uneasiness. But which will be, if they give to patient false information?
