Google Flu Trends launched
Search engine giant Google has launched yet another innovative web service. This latest service is named Google Flu Trends.
This tool is aimed at U.S. federal health experts who can use this tool to track annual flu epidemic.
Google said in a statement on the launch of this new service: “We’ve discovered that certain search terms are good indicators of flu activity.”
Dr. Lyn Finelli, chief of influenza surveillance at the CDC added: “What this does is it takes Google search terms of influenza-like illness and influenza and it emulates a signal that tells us how much influenza activity there was.”
Google claims that their service uses real time data from their search engines to provide this information which can become a good indicator of flu activity in different regions.
