Google is launching a new type of knowledge panel in the UK which will provide information in the search results directly from the National Health Service (NHS). Searches in the UK will now get answers to their health-related questions quickly, which could not come any time better considering the coronavirus spread.

Google’s Statement

Recommendation: Google Now Allow Users To Customize Their Profile Cards For Search Results

At present, these knowledge panels are available for more than 300 health conditions. This is just an easier way of getting information although the information provided on these knowledge panels could be found on the NHS website itself. Google had joined 2000+ organizations using NHS website contents to provide trusted information to anyone who needs it.

Disclaimer

Google added a disclaimer the information provided in the search results is not a substitute for medical advice and advises anyone with a medical concern should visit a doctor.
