Neel Shah (born February 23, 1982) is an American physician, Harvard University assistant professor, Chief Medical Officer of Maven Clinic, and founder of the nonprofit organizations Costs of Care and March for Moms.

[5] Following residency, he joined his mentor Atul Gawande as core faculty at Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation between Brigham & Women's Hospital and the Harvard T.H.

He founded the Delivery Decisions Initiative at Harvard University's Ariadne Labs to develop solutions to the challenges mothers face during childbirth.

[11] He has explained how these biases impact mortality rates among Black and Native mothers to the American public through news reports[12] and the Fox television show, "The Resident."

Shah has collaborated with his wife Julie to harness artificial intelligence to improve public health, including developing robotic assistants for labor and delivery nurses[16] and approaches to control the spread of the novel coronavirus.

[19] He participated in a project aiming to collect essays about instances in which inattention to costs has harmed patients — emulating the patient-safety movement's use of anecdotes about sponges left in abdomens or amputations of the wrong limb.
