Since the beginning of March, Google has been actively expanding the availability of artificial intelligence reviews by removing the requirement to sign in to a Google account to access this feature. Now the company is adding another AI tool to Search. The next time you search for health information on your phone, you’ll see a new “What People are Suggesting” bar at the top of Google.
Using artificial intelligence, this feature will combine “different perspectives from online discussions into easy-to-understand topics,” Google explains. For example, if you or someone in your family suffers from arthritis, the panel will show “real opinions from people who also suffer from the disease” with links so you can delve deeper into the topic. The feature is currently only available on mobile devices in the US.
Google does not say how it plans to prevent misinformation from appearing on the panel. Instead, the company notes that it has been working to improve AI reviews related to health topics so that they “continue to meet the high bar of clinical evidence.” However, even after Google introduced additional security measures to prevent inaccurate summaries in AI reviews and started using Gemini 2.0 to address more complex questions, the feature can still produce strange answers. For example, recently in one of the AI reviews, my colleague Chris Holt was informed that the first day Canadians can start contributing to their RRSP for 2026 begins on March 61.
At the same event where Google debuted its “What People Suggest” panel, the company made other health-related announcements. The search giant said it was releasing a series of new medical record APIs through its Health Connect platform. With this update, Google says it will be easier to link your medical data with data from your doctor’s office. Google also introduced an update to the Pixel Watch 3’s pulse loss detection feature. After announcing that the feature would be coming soon with the latest Pixel update, Google now says it will be launched at the end of the month.
