Google Search has had its fair share of issues, especially before introducing its AI model, Gemini. 

The company has been improving its search engine by integrating its Gemini AI to generate summaries instead of just displaying a list of website links. 

Many users found search results cluttered with pages optimized for search rankings rather than genuinely helpful information. 

These AI-generated summaries save users time by providing relevant information upfront, so they don’t have to click multiple links. 

Now, Google is also applying this AI-generated summary feature to health-related searches. In a blog post, Google detailed six new healthcare features. 

Google revealed a new tool called, The Check Up, which will now cover a much broader range of medical topics beyond common ones like the flu.

These AI-generated responses will also be available for users in multiple languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. 

One of the latest changes is a new feature called “What People Suggest,” which is now available for users in the US. 

It organizes different perspectives from online discussions into simple, easy-to-understand themes. 

Instead of just listing traditional web pages, Google will now show a special section highlighting insights from real users on various online platforms. 

While Google hasn’t revealed all the sources it pulls from, a preview of the feature shows that it includes posts from X/Twitter, Quora, and Reddit. 

The idea behind this is that many people turn to online forums to share personal experiences about health-related issues. For most people, this feature will streamline their search for health advice.

However, this is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Google includes a disclaimer warning users that this information should not be used as a substitute for consulting a healthcare provider. 

Instead, users should treat AI summaries as a starting point rather than a final medical diagnosis.
