eMed Announces Collaboration with Aon to Provide a Digital GLP-1 Benefit Program for Aon colleagues

Partnership provides virtual clinical support with data driven measurement to improve adherence for obesity management

MIAMI, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — eMed®, the leading Population Health technology platform in remote chronic care management and 24/7/365 live care, today announced an industry-changing collaboration with leading global professional services firm, Aon, to provide GLP-1 obesity management services for the company’s U.S. employees.

This collaboration builds off the momentum from Aon’s recently released findings showing a seven percentage point reduction in the growth of medical spend in the second year of GLP-1 therapy, and a 44 percent reduction in risk of hospitalizations caused by major adverse cardiovascular events with adherent GLP-1 utilization. Both eMed and Aon are committed to improving population health by accessible, personalized, and effective healthcare solutions that support better health outcomes and address critical issues such as obesity, diabetes, and related comorbidities.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Aon to bring our cutting-edge platform to their employees,” said Dr. Patrice Harris, CEO of eMed. “Our platform is a science-based, all-in-one solution proven to deliver superior health outcomes for participants, while enabling employers to manage their spend on GLP-1s. Together with Aon, we’re not just offering access to GLP-1s; we’re ensuring they are used effectively to improve long-term employee health outcomes as demonstrated by Aon’s groundbreaking analysis.”

“Our findings show that GLP-1s, when combined with holistic support like nutrition, exercise and mental health resources, can deliver lasting health improvements. Making this investment is essential,” said Lisa Stevens, Chief Administration Officer of Aon. “Together, we’re proving that it’s possible to offer access to GLP-1s affordably and with dignity – and that doing so can benefit both people and the bottom line.”

eMed, a digital-first healthcare management platform, empowers individuals to address critical health issues such as obesity and related comorbidities, while reducing barriers to medication access and clinical care. As GLP-1 medication indications continue to expand beyond obesity and type II diabetes, making data driven decisions to effectively control increasing healthcare costs is critical to proactively improving overall health.

“We have an opportunity to shift the obesity trend in the U.S. at a macro level. Employers have long been champions of wellness, but most initiatives haven’t materially moved the needle on population health. By addressing obesity through the lens of health equity and access, we can unlock positive economic ripple effects,” said Dr. Michael Mina, eMed Chief Science Officer.

BC.GAME Showcases Its Crypto-First iGaming Ecosystem at iGB L!VE 2026

Published

on

By

BELIZE CITY, Belize, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC.GAME arrives at iGB L!VE 2026 with a focus on how crypto-first operators are reshaping the player experience across casino, sportsbook and platform engagement.

As operators look for stronger retention, faster payments and more flexible product journeys, BC.GAME has continued to build around a model that connects entertainment, crypto utility and user participation within one ecosystem. The platform brings together casino games, sportsbook, crypto payments, BC Originals and reward-led engagement mechanics designed for a player base that expects speed, transparency and variety.

A key part of this ecosystem is BC Engine, BC.GAME’s platform mechanism built around $BC. Rather than treating rewards as a standalone campaign feature, BC Engine links player activity, staking participation and platform-related reward distribution. With ecosystem contributors including BC Originals, BETBY and Croco Gaming, the mechanism is designed to connect platform growth with long-term user participation.

At iGB L!VE, BC.GAME will showcase how this crypto-native structure supports a broader iGaming experience, from low-friction deposits and withdrawals to sportsbook activity, casino content and new engagement layers such as prediction-led experiences. The focus is not on a single product launch, but on a more connected platform model built for players who move across multiple formats, markets and moments of play.

For BC.GAME, iGB L!VE offers an opportunity to meet partners, suppliers, affiliates and media as the industry continues to move towards more personalised, scalable and commercially resilient player experiences.

SHERPA TUTORS LAUNCHES SEN TUTORING DIVISION AS NUMBER OF SEN PUPILS REACHES RECORD 1.8 MILLION

1,300 SEN Teaching Specialists to Support Growing Demand for Online Tutoring

MARLOW, England, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sherpa Tutors, one of the UK’s leading online tutoring platforms, announces the launch of its dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) Tutoring Division, created to help SEN pupils build confidence and a positive relationship with learning.

Sherpa’s SEN tutoring division gives parents access to more than 1,300 SEN and neurodiversity teaching specialists, including experienced teachers trained to support pupils with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety and other complex learning and emotional needs.

The launch comes as demand for SEN support accelerates. In June 2026, the Department for Education reported that more than 1.8 million children in England are registered as SEN or have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) in place, representing a 5.2% increase on 2025.

While schools and colleges work incredibly hard to meet growing demand, many are overwhelmed, leaving some pupils struggling to get the support they need. 

Specialist SEN tutoring enables pupils to receive one-on-one support from experienced tutors and teachers who understand the teaching techniques needed to nurture their potential. 

Neurodivergent learners often process information differently, making personalised teaching programmes particularly important. Autistic learners may benefit from consistent routines, while pupils with ADHD often respond best to shorter, interactive activities.

“Our SEN tutors are highly knowledgeable and skilled, with an instinctive appreciation for the most effective learning techniques based on the needs of each pupil,” said Angela Winters, Head of Engagement at Sherpa Tutors. “Many pupils are battling severe anxiety. In these cases, tutors focus on gradually building confidence both academically and socially, helping them develop a resilience toolkit to better manage challenges.”

“The most effective learning experience begins with the right support and the right tutor. With 59% of Sherpa’s tutors experienced in SEN teaching, we can identify the right tutor to help every pupil build confidence and progress at a pace that’s right for them.”

Sherpa Tutors holds a 4.7 Trustpilot rating and a 4.8 Google rating and prides itself on exceptional customer service and high-quality tutors, 46% of which are qualified teachers, and 16% are qualified examiners.

Sherpa’s new SEN tutoring division aims to help more children access the support they need to build a positive and confident relationship with learning.
