**Johnson Deloris** is a health technology strategist, writer, and educator with over fifteen years of experience at the intersection of artificial intelligence and personal wellness. He has served as a senior consultant and product advisor for several leading digital health companies, including a role as Director of AI Strategy at a major wearable manufacturer, where he helped develop the machine learning pipeline for sleep staging and stress detection algorithms deployed on millions of devices worldwide.
Mr. Deloris holds a Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics from Stanford University, where his graduate research focused on interpretable deep learning models for early detection of cardiac arrhythmias from consumer-grade photoplethysmography signals. He has published peer-reviewed articles in journals such as *Nature Digital Medicine* and *IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics*, and has presented at conferences including HIMSS, SXSW Health, and the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conference.
In addition to his technical work, Johnson has been a passionate advocate for responsible AI. He served on the ethical AI advisory board for a global wearable-maker, co-authored a white paper on algorithmic fairness in health wearables, and has been quoted in *The Wall Street Journal*, *Wired*, and *The New York Times* on topics ranging from data privacy to the future of at-home diagnostics.
Johnson currently writes a twice-monthly newsletter called *The Quantified Self*, which breaks down new research and product developments in the AI health space for a non-specialist audience. He also teaches an online course, “AI for Personal Health: Tools, Risks, and Opportunities,” hosted by a major e-learning platform, which has attracted over 12,000 learners from sixty countries.
When not immersed in data streams, Johnson can be found hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with his family, experimenting with new recipes on his sous-vide setup, and trying to keep his own Oura Ring readiness score above 80. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
