Web 2.0 Summit – Google’s Marissa Mayer
Marissa Mayer delivers the first of this year’s High Order Bits, talking about Google Health.
Marissa outlines some of the things that have been speculated about for Google Health; ‘Google Paternity Search“, ”I’m feeling yucky“, etc.
Google is not a doctor… but lots of people successfully search Google for health information. 66% of information needs are resolved in search first.
Information on your health is being generated at an incredible rate; 2bn X-Rays per year.
What could Google do?
- Enhance existing search, a la Google Co-Op.
- Help to find the right doctor, on top of Google Local/ Maps
- Personal health records (digitising paper records)
And there’s more to come…
