Many of us turn to 'Dr. Google' to self-diagnose our health symptoms and seek medical advice, but online symptom checkers are only accurate about a third of the time, according to a new study from Edith Cowan University. It has been estimated that Google's health-related searches reach approximately 70,000 every minute. The research also found the advice provided on seeking health care is accurate 49% of the time.
