The Pulse by Wharton Digital Health

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Neel Shah, Chief Medical Officer of Maven Clinic, the world’s largest digital clinic for women’s and family health.

Dr. Shah is a practicing obstetrician and a visiting scientist at Harvard Medical School where he previously served as a professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology. Dr. Shah joined Maven in 2021 with a mission to expand and diversify women’s and family health practices. He is a big advocate for health equity and reproductive justice with numerous awards and media recognitions for his impact on maternal health in the United States.

In this episode, Neel and I discussed:

• The fertility industry has evolved rapidly, with new technologies and a more inclusive approach to care outcomes and reducing overutilization.
• Health equity is a critical issue in women’s healthcare, and Maven is actively working to address disparities and provide culturally humble care.
• How Maven integrates cultural humility into its care delivery and medical practice design to ensure patients feel seen and heard.
• Maven’s expansion into Medicaid demonstrates its commitment to accessible and equitable healthcare for all.
