ForeverRx: Bridging Health and Hearts in the Modern Dating Scene

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Dr. Shivani Shah, a 4th year paediatric neurology resident at Duke University in North Carolina. They talk about her app ForeverRx, dating and socializing in the medical industry, and how you can build your own app.

  • [00:00] Introduction
  • [03:51] How ForeverRx Started
  • [09:25] Resources for Building an App or a Business
  • [12:13] What Dr. Shih Would Change About US Healthcare
  • [14:45] Parting Thoughts

How ForeverRx Was Born

Dr. Shih founded ForeverRx with her brother during the COVID-19 pandemic and is a dating and social networking platform for all healthcare professionals as a way to create a community in the healthcare field for romantic and platonic connections, because finding connections for both are so important especially during the hardest days of training.

How to Build an App

Dr. Shih cites her and her brother’s MBA degrees as helpful components to building their business as well as having a software developer and Dr. Shih’s passion for coding to help maintain the app. The resources are readily available everywhere, so the most important thing in creating your app is to know your “why”. Your “why” is what sustains you through everything and in all aspects of your life and if you are in harmony with your “why”, you eventually get on the path you’re supposed to be on.
