U.S. Living Will Registry

The U.S. Living Will Registry is a national healthcare service that provides a secure, electronic repository for advance directives, including living wills and healthcare proxies. Founded to ensure that patients' end-of-life wishes are accessible to healthcare providers across the country, the registry allows individuals to upload documents that can be retrieved by hospitals and physicians 24/7. The company partners with healthcare systems, organ procurement organizations, and legal professionals to integrate advance care planning into the continuum of care. Its platform is designed to reduce the ambiguity of patient wishes during medical emergencies and ensure compliance with the Patient Self-Determination Act. In 2021, the registry was acquired by Vynca, a leader in advance care planning technology, to enhance digital access to serious illness care documents. This acquisition combined the registry's extensive database with Vynca's clinical workflow solutions to streamline end-of-life care coordination.
