Working together, care providers and patients ensure the best possible care is being attained in real time. They make care management personal, empowering, and informed, while creating life-long change and improving the quality of life for all of their users. The patient experience of treatment directly influences an individual’s willingness to comply with their care plan. A dramatic example is when the patient has a co-occuring diagnosis of depression, which affects an estimated 20% of those being treated for a chronic condition. As the chart on the left shows, this increases overall care utilization significantly, with an average of $4800 in excess annual expenses per patient. Make sure your patients feel heard, and they will reward you with better self-care. Research has shown Americans are adopting smartphones at a rapid pace. However, such device ownership is still below half of the total population. Would you invest in any medical offering that only served half of its potential users? Using the RxApps service, not only can you can reach smarthphone users with mobile web, you can reach almost any patient using modes of interaction with which they are already familiar: text messages and web applications. Make the decision to engage them today and tomorrow.

Women constantly seek advice on things like weight loss, skincare, relationships, sex, anxiety, etc. - it's an everyday behavior. But instead of talking to friends, which doesn't provide anonymity or the best information, they should be able to connect with the appropriate experts, and do so cheaply and easily. ChickRx democratizes wellness advice, making it convenient, quick, and affordable for women to speak with experts over the phone or chat. Meanwhile, ChickRx helps experts like dietitians, marriage and family therapists, sex therapists, skincare professionals, etc. supplement their incomes. The existing ChickRx site, a Q&A platform, has grown from 40k monthly uniques to nearly a million in only seven months, and with just two employees. Founded by Meghan Muntean and Stacey Borden, Princeton and Harvard/HBS graduates, ChickRx completed the Rock Health accelerator, won the New Media Women Entrepreneurs award, and previously raised $540,000 in seed funding.

Medmonk is based on the premise that it's in everyone's best interest for medications to be used regardless of price. Patients get the care and medications they need, insurers are protected against larger claims, and pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies get maximum use of their medications.

She did this manually for over three years with overwhelming positive feedback from grateful patients who could now afford their medications.
Avva is a personal online application that helps women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer prepare for important medical appointments. Avva’s vision is to empower and support patients by providing an online tool that serves as a comprehensive “home base” for breast cancer treatment – one that helps patients address the organizational, emotional, social, and medical components of treatment. Avva is a personal advocate that gives patients tools to take a more active role in their own treatment. Avva’s visit preparation service is the first step on the path to this vision. The founders’ time spent working closely with patients has led them to focus first and foremost on improving patient experience, maintaining an absolute dedication to serving patients above and beyond any other parties in the healthcare system. The evolution of Avva’s functionality and design has been driven almost exclusively by countless interviews and feedback sessions with breast cancer survivors. The result is a simple, intuitive tool that the team at Avva believes can have a tremendously positive impact on any patient undergoing breast cancer treatment.
