Machine Learning At The Forefront Of Telemental Health

Michael Stefferson received his PhD in Physics from the University of Colorado before deciding to make the jump into machine learning (ML). He spent the last several years as a Machine Learning Engineer at Manifold, where he first started working on projects in the healthcare industry. Recently, Stefferson joined the team at Cerebral as a Staff Machine Learning Engineer and hopes to leverage data to make clinical improvements for patients that will improve their lives in meaningful ways. Here, he talks about use cases, best practices, and what he has learned along his journey into the field of ML. What is your background and how did you first get into machine learning?
