Abstract

Romil Shah knew he wanted to be a doctor from the first time he was injured as a gymnast. Coming from a techy family, however, he knew that he was always going to be interested in how healthcare could be helped by technology. He has spent his career trying to define how different aspects of modern technology can make very real, palpable differences in patient's lives. At Northwestern, he created and studied a series of iPhone applications that help patients use their inhalers, a problem that 86% of asthmatics struggle with. In medical school, he created applications that help patients recieve free physical therapy after surgery which can save them time and improve their outcomes. He is currently a resident in orthopedic surgery at the University of Texas, Austin and is training to be a spine surgeon. His current projects surround using machine learning to predict patient outcomes from consumer technology like FitBits and make medical diagnoses from imaging technology.
