Don't know about ads but I know Google has this feature where when something new about a particular keyword comes up it will email you with the links. I use it to track new research on my own health issue.

Why not use independent review sites? Those exist for a lot of categories of shopping.
I'm not sure one exists for prescription drugs or mental health services, though--that would be an interesting idea.
As someone who hates shopping, I've been really disappointed with the quality of ad targeting for the past decade.
The ability to select categories of ads has improved things. But I wish I could just write some rule-based criteria and then take 3 hours, look through a bunch of ads, and give them ratings in order to train personalized machine learning models.
