Google is incorporating fact-based medical data to its search engine that will include basic information on symptoms, treatments and the rarity of the conditions.

According to the Verge, Google said that one in every 20 searches is related to health.

The internet giant knows that it has massive audience for this information.

Google product manager Prem Ramaswam said that they work with a team of doctors who carefully review the information.

However, Google wants to remind the users that this feature does not mean that the search results are intended as medical advice.
