“Google Squared is a search tool that helps you quickly build a collection of facts from the Web for any topic you specify. Facts about your topic are organized as a table of items and attributes (we call them “Squares” for fun). Customize these Squares to see just the items and attributes you’re interested in. See the websites that served as sources for the information in your Square. Save and share Squares with others.”
Nobody should use Google as a substitute for their doctor. Keeping this in mind, the search engines are evolving (Google, Bing and others) and can be interesting educational tools. See a few examples below:
Differential diagnosis of chest pain. Click here to see my shared “square.”
The automatically generated list of differential diagnoses is incomplete and somewhat inaccurate (as expected). However, the concept is interesting and you can edit the list to remove erroneous entries and add new ones.
Google Squared differential diagnosis of shortness of breath, I added a CXR column. Click here to see my shared “square.”
Medical educators can build their own “squares” and share them with residents
