Google Answers Your Health Questions With Health OneBox by Barry Schwartz, Search Engine Land (Aug 27)
Good - Google has enhanced Web search to show Google Health results on medical related queries at the top of the page - as an enriched search result.
For diabetes you'll see links to Google Health and three major health sites (Mayo, Medline, WebMD).
Google Health is better too for topics it covers. It has an overview, breakdown of the topic (symptoms, treatment, prognosis etc), illustrations and news. However, it is not searchable on its own. Google really wants people to use this as a place for organizing personal information and sharing with family and doctors.
