According to a report from Engadget.com, Google is trying out a new way to help users diagnose whatever ailments they may be suffering, or, at least, searching.
When searching for illness-related symptoms, users would see a “Talk with a doctor now” link within the Google search card.
Engadget said the link would provide a video chat, offered via Google’s Helpouts feature.
As noted in the image above, any costs associated with the video chat would be covered by Google during this new feature’s “limited trial,” although, users may incur a cost should the doctor video chats move out of beta.
