We build scalable software systems for processing web data sources to provide key insights to public health professionals. Our projects are wide ranging, including the discovery of seasonal patterns across many types of mental illness, the discovery of circaseptan (day of the week) patterns in health behaviors, the first replicable evaluation strategy for discrete awareness campaigns, a major overhaul of infectious disease forecasting algorithms, the first evaluation of real-time linkages between macroeconomic conditions and typically unreported mental health issues, and a data driven strategy to passively discover the public's health concerns.

Reporting on this finding led to a second bump in HIV testing eclipsing the impact of traditional awareness days.
