The app, called Ava, will feature an option for its users to order medications from Cost Plus Drugs, according to an Oct. 5 Avanlee news release. 

About 54 million people in the U.S. provide unpaid care to their loved ones, according to Avanlee. Nearly half of elderly patients don’t adhere to their medicine regimens, which leads to between a 10th and a quarter of hospital and nursing home admissions. 

Mark Cuban, co-founder of Cost Plus Drugs, said his company and Avanlee “share a common mission: to provide lower costs on prescribed medications, saving money for the unpaid family caregiver and their loved one, the care-receiver.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
