Fighting the opioid epidemic with ML & human-centered design

What this post added

This post details the development of Telesphora, a human-centered data science platform that uses machine learning and predictive analytics to combat the opioid epidemic. The platform predicts overdose outbreaks by analyzing spatiotemporal data and network analysis of supply movements, enabling better resource allocation for first responders. The core technical contribution is the spatiotemporal Poisson process model for projecting future opioid overdose trends.
