# HealthSearchQA |
|
Dataset of consumer health questions released by Google for the Med-PaLM paper ([arXiv preprint](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13138)). |
|
|
|
From the [paper](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06291-2): |
|
|
|
We curated our own additional dataset consisting of 3,173 commonly searched consumer questions, |
|
referred to as HealthSearchQA. The dataset was curated using seed medical conditions and their |
|
associated symptoms. We used the seed data to retrieve publicly-available commonly searched questions |
|
generated by a search engine, which were displayed to all users entering the seed terms. We publish the |
|
dataset as an open benchmark for answering medical questions from consumers and hope this will be a useful |
|
resource for the community, as a dataset reflecting real-world consumer concerns. |
|
|
