1. Can you tell us about your role at Happify Health?

One of Happify Health’s core differentiators is the use of advanced AI algorithms in delivering the most engaging and efficacious digital therapeutics interventions – primarily using our digital AI coach, Anna. My team is responsible for developing Anna’s Machine Learning and deep learning algorithms and to create a clinical model of interaction with users. The team comprises data scientists and clinicians working together to make Anna an effective and engaging hunan-like coach – one who listens to users, cares about them, and is curious about them. We are also responsible for anything-algorithmic at Happify, including content recommender systems, predictive analytics, and the signal processing algorithms used in Happify’s Breather biofeedback game.
