Mother's boy

Rishi Shah CEO of Outcome Health tweeted a picture with his mom on My 14.

The post says, " Happy Mother's Day Mom! I'm so lucky to have you as a mom, teacher, mentor and friend. You made me believe in myself:)".

The initial idea for a company providing content for doctor?s offices was inspired by his sister.

?My sister has type 1 diabetes,? Shah says. ?If she gets on an insulin pump and she is able to achieve better blood sugar control and she is checking her blood sugar more effectively, the device manufacturer wins, the insulin manufacturer wins, the blood glucometer wins, the doctor wins, but the payer wins most of all. And she wins personally," he told Forbes magazine.
