Google Launches Checklist in SERP and Maps to Help Plan Medical Visits U.S.A. Only

Google worked with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality on what’s essentially a checklist. The tool surfaces common questions like “What is the test for” and “Why do I need this treatment” to “What are the possible complications.” Users can write their own and drag to adjust the order.

After completing, Google reminds you to bring a list of medications you’re taking, insurance card, and other documentation. Users then have the option to print out or email to themselves. The company says it “does not store any of the information,” and that the experience is accessible while signed out of your Google Account.

Still in the pilot phase, Google says that it’s currently available to a “limited number of people in the United States and will expand to more users over time.” “Start a checklist” will appear at the bottom of health-related listings in Search and Maps. You can also visit the tool directly at anytime here.
