LegitScript Healthcare Merchant Certification Now Recognized by Google for Telemedicine Providers in the United Kingdom
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LegitScript, the leader in merchant and product certification and monitoring in the advertising, e-commerce, and payment sectors, today announced its partnership with Google to certify telemedicine providers in the United Kingdom. The policy update means that telemedicine businesses operating in the UK can now apply for LegitScript Healthcare Certification, a required step for advertising their services on Google's platforms.
LegitScript's Healthcare Certification provides a trusted pathway for telemedicine businesses to demonstrate compliance and transparency with regulators, the public, and third-party partners.
This expansion represents a significant opportunity for telemedicine providers in the United Kingdom to build trust and brand awareness at a time when the industry, which is on a rapid trajectory, is becoming increasingly competitive. The total market revenue of the United Kingdom's telehealth industry is projected to increase from $2.43 billion to $7.55 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 21.1%, according to Grand View Research. As digital-first healthcare delivery models continue to rise, it is essential that telemedicine advertising avenues remain safe, trustworthy, and compliant.
'As Google expands its advertising policies in the United Kingdom, we're collaborating to build a safer, more transparent online ecosystem not only for telemedicine providers, but for patients,' said Angela Salter, Director, Partnerships and Sales at LegitScript. 'This is a truly meaningful step forward in supporting platform integrity and trust while enabling legitimate, verified providers to reach patients who require care.'
LegitScript's Healthcare Certification provides a trusted pathway for telemedicine businesses to demonstrate compliance and transparency with regulators, the public, and third-party partners. LegitScript Certification is included within the approval process for conducting card-not-present transactions with Visa and Mastercard, and it is a requirement for many online platforms. Google's policy update now makes it possible for UK-based telemedicine providers to expand their reach by advertising on the world's most popular online ad platform.
'Healthcare is a complex, heavily regulated industry, especially as it becomes increasingly digitized and businesses operate across various jurisdictions,' Salter said. 'LegitScript helps providers avoid inadvertent noncompliance and stay current with regulatory changes to help them access top-tier advertising platforms like Google, maintain crucial access to key payment processing networks, and most importantly, secure the trust of patients and their families.'

SafelyYou Announces Revolutionary Resident Wellness AI
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SafelyYou, the leader in empowering safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, has announced SafelyYou Aware™, a new resident wellness AI that delivers the most comprehensive and accurate predictive care profile for residents in senior living, empowering communities to profoundly improve care planning, increase resident well-being, and extend length of stay. Unmatched data. Predictive dashboards. And expert clinicians supporting every day. SafelyYou Aware™ resident wellness AI is built on more than 7M observational resident days, creating a data set unmatched in senior living. This robust data enables SafelyYou Aware™ to provide care staff with deep insights into resident well-being, for a clearer understanding of overall resident health. Its predictive dashboards offer centralized wellness scoring for each resident, enabling care staff to easily pinpoint which areas of care need more attention, and care plan accordingly. And every day, SafelyYou remote clinical experts support on-site staff with analyzing and interpreting health trends, leading to significant improvements in care quality. As a result, care planning is more predictive, more personalized, and more precise, helping to drive improved outcomes for residents and improved well-being. Virtual and automatic check-ins reduce risk, improve care. As part of this revolutionary resident wellness AI, communities can access SafelyYou Aware™ Virtual Check-ins and SafelyYou Aware™ Nighttime Wellness Checks, two critical tools for assessing residents' care needs and enhancing communities' regular rounding. SafelyYou Aware™ Virtual Check-ins: Authorized staff can check in on residents anytime, from anywhere in the building. Care staff can quickly identify high-risk residents and respond to needs more quickly. Communities are empowered to provide more person-centered care. Means minimized disruptions to resident routines. SafelyYou Aware™ Nighttime Wellness Checks: Remote, automatic safety checks performed every hour from 7 pm to 7 am by a SafelyYou clinician. Enables staff to identify sleep pattern trends, promoting better rest, fewer falls, and improved outcomes. Helps communities better predict care needs in the day ahead. Increases staff efficiency and reduces resident risk. Increased length of stay. As SafelyYou Aware™ helps senior living communities substantially improve care planning and reduce risk, care quality and well-being for residents improves. When residents receive better-quality care and families are more pleased with communities, resident length of stay increases. Which means seniors receive quality care for longer and senior living communities can stabilize their census, helping to reach occupancy goals. Carlo Perez, Chief Product Officer at SafelyYou, said, 'SafelyYou Aware™ is an absolute revolution in proactively understanding the health of residents, providing clear and immediate insight into overall well-being, so communities can identify any changes and meet those care needs sooner and more effectively. It does this ambiently, preserves residents' dignity, and enables loved ones to be both checked in on more while also disrupted less. We created an AI for supporting seniors' well-being that others can ensure their parents have, helping them to stay longer in the communities they trust to care for them. And we built what we'd want our own parents to have.' From the creators of proven AI. SafelyYou Aware™ is the latest offering from the AI leader senior living relies on. SafelyYou also offers SafelyYou Respond™ for fall management and SafelyYou Clarity™ for staffing concerns and is trusted by over 50% of the largest senior living providers in 750 communities across the country.
