Patent number: 12002587Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a health indicator, such as a life expectancy, of a target person using a proxy model comprising an artificial neural network, in lieu of more complex, costly, and/or invasive health assessment processes. The artificial neural network may be constructed from labeled training data comprising a plurality of activity data training sets, each set including personal activity metrics associated with activities performed by a respective training person as derived from sensor data obtained via one or more mobile electronic devices (e.g., a smartphone or a wearable device) of the respective training person. The trained artificial neural network may then obtain and process an activity data set associated with the target person to determine a health indicator of the target person.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: BLUEOWL, LLCInventors: Kenneth J. Sanchez, Bennett Smith

Publication number: 20230394590Abstract: Technology for identifying potentially fraudulent user behavior related to the capture and transmission of vehicle trip telemetry data is provided. Automatic and periodic attempts may be made to wake up (e.g., launch, or change to an active mode) an application installed on a mobile device configured to transmit mobile device data, including captured sensor data, to a remote computer device. Based on the sensor data, the remote computer device may determine a number, frequency, and/or duration of vehicle trips associated with the user of the mobile device. When one or more types of expected mobile device data are not received by the remote computer device after a particular attempt to wake the application, data indicating a failure to receive expected mobile device data may be recorded in a log. Based on the log, an alert indicating potentially fraudulent behavior associated with the user of the mobile device may be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Bennett Smith, Kenneth J.
