David Andre (Director of Informatics, BodyMedia Inc.) directs the team
at BodyMedia responsible for collecting and analyzing clinical data,
creating machine learning models of that data, and developing algorithms
that provide high level metrics over that data (e.g. predicting energy
expenditure or detecting sleep). He received his PhD from the
University of California at Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science where his dissertation focused on hierarchical methods
for automatic behavior acquisition. Dr. Andre also co-founded Blue
Pumpkin Software, which makes call center scheduling
software. He has 12 years of experience in machine
learning and artificial intelligence, is the author of more than 60
peer-reviewed articles and papers, holds seven patents, and has been a
