  • Patent number: 11887461
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a condition associated with an individual in a home environment are provided. Sensors associated with the home environment detect data, which is captured and analyzed by a local or remote processor to identify the condition. In some instances, the sensors are configured to capture data indicative of electricity use by devices associated with the home environment, including, e.g., which devices are using electricity, what date/time electricity is used by each device, how long each device uses electricity, and/or the power source for the electricity used by each device. The processor analyzes the captured data to identify any abnormalities or anomalies, and, based upon any identified abnormalities or anomalies, the processor determines a condition (e.g., a medical condition) associated with an individual in the home environment. The processor generates and transmits a notification indicating the condition associated with the individual to a caregiver of the individual.

  • Publication number: 20240013311
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and correcting abnormal electrical activity about a home or other structure are provided. An electricity monitoring device may monitor electrical activity including transmission of electricity via an electrical distribution board to devices about the home. Electrical activity may be correlated with respective electrical devices to build an electrical profile associated with the structure. In response to a claimed damage to the structure or to electric devices therein, some electrical activity may be compared to the electrical profile to determine whether the damage occurred voluntarily or involuntarily.

  • Publication number: 20230267551
    Abstract: Embodiments of extended reality (XR) methods and systems for processing vehicle-related insurance claims are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method may include: (i) obtaining, using one or more XR devices, first data representing insured party XR preferences, and second data related to a damage-causing event for a vehicle; (ii) creating, using one or more processors and based upon the second data, a virtual reconstruction of the damage-causing event; and/or (iii) presenting, in a virtualized environment in accordance with the XR preferences via an XR device, the virtual reconstruction such that the insured party or an insurance representative may view, alter, and/or approve the virtual reconstruction.
