Submission + - Google Used to Diagnose Disease
dptalia writes: "About 20% of all diseases are misdiagnosed, a percentage that has remained steady since the 1930s. However, scientists have discovered that by inputting the key symptoms into Google they can get the correct diagnosis about 58% of the time. For rare and unusual diseases, this provides doctors the information they need to get a correct cure. Of course, Google is only as good as it's knowledge base, and it's users, so this isn't a cure for everything."
