Google Flu Prediction

• Google found that certain search terms are good indicators of flu activity.

• Trends uses aggregated Google search data to estimate flu activity.

• Each week, millions of online users around the world search for health information, with more flu-related searches during flu season.

• Google tried to repeat the experiment after a few years but it didn't match the actual numbers and the model wasn't accurate (WHY?) -Lots of media attention to this year's flu season skewed Google's search engine traffic.
