Google has mentioned that with the support and help of user queries connected with flu symptoms, they will be able to predict the trends, ascending or descending, of the diseases, throughout USA. The wing of Google developed for this will give users a daily update of the trends of flu, through daily estimates of the cases.
GFT will be collecting the details directly from the users. The main intension of creating GFT was that, sick people will be depending on internet as a means of knowing more about the disease, as compared to normal people. Hence any outbreak will be immediately reported by GFT, thereby helping CDC to record and process data further. This will be really helpful for hospitals to prepare in such cases of a large influx of patients.
When this service could be extended to other diseases also, this could largely benefit as an advanced tool in knowing the real trend and statistics collected from real time environment. The technology used by Google for this could easily be extended to other medical conditions, thereby making it able to prevent the spreading of various other diseases. Most of the diseases will hence be predicted by this method in the first place, since tracking using this technology and methods are more effective and useful.
