Dr. Shah is the CEO of MyMeds (www.my-meds.com), a digital health company whose medication adherence platform engages patients, physicians and pharmacists to work together.

Technology is disrupting consumer industries across the globe. In healthcare, technology is being used to improve systems, but the new disruption will be driven by people – patients and pharmacists. Like never before, patients are demanding consumer technologies to help them become more engaged on their changing health care team. The new team brings pharmacists off the bench and puts them in a starring role to help solve one of healthcare’s biggest issues – the $300 billion problem of medication non-adherence (not taking medicines properly).

Dr. Shah is the CEO of MyMeds and a Board-certified nephrologist who practices in Minneapolis. Combining his front-line experience of understanding the multiple roles (patient, provider, entrepreneur) in a rapidly-changing health environment, and his dedication to implementing digital health IT to improve health outcomes, Dr. Shah provides a unique perspective on innovation in healthcare today. He received his M.D. from the University of Minnesota Medical School, and attended Boston University, from where he graduated with a B.A. in Cognitive Psychology with a focus on memory creation. This provided the foundation on which the MyMeds adherence platform was created to improve medication-taking behaviors. He has been recognized for his work in business, medicine and philanthropy with the Virginia McKnight Binger Award in Human Service, 40 Under 40, Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans, and Real Power.

#village #tibetanvillage #childhood #hometown

How long have you been away from your hometown?

For me, it’s almost 25 years since I left my childhood village.

Today’s video is back to my childhood village, see how it has changed over the past 25 years and also experience the real life in the Tibetan countryside.

Actually, my parents’ house had collapsed about ten years ago because none of us lived here and reparied the house. So I could only went back to my uncle’s house.

My uncle’s house remains almost the same as before. I even took a nap in my childhood bed.

Like all the other Tibetan stone houses, my uncle’s home consists of bedrooms, a typical Tibetan style dining room, a separate praying chapel, a storeroom, and a very Tibetan toilet (an open-air toilet).

Among these rooms, the praying chapel is the most special one in a Tibetan house. Every Tibetan home has a praying chapel, where the family can do their daily prayers in their free time.

Though there is a modern refrigerator, my uncle’s family still kept the original storeroom to keep air-dried yak meat and other items.

I was amazed to see that they still had their old habits, and it was gratifying to see some new changes, like the new TV and tap-water pipes, because my uncle and my nephews could enjoy better living conditions than I had back then.

Collecting yak dung, doing kora around the nearby ancient stupa, visiting the Jhoden Monastery in the village…these were all parts of my daily life since I lived with my uncle in this small Tibetan village.

I would like to share the memory of my hometown with all of you through this video. Hoping we could meet together in Tibet and let me take you to my lovely hometown.
