  • Patent number: 12586106
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for adjusting one or more electronic medical bills for a claimant injured in an accident comprises generating a user interface to be presented to a claims adjuster; receiving a first user input identifying a claimant; responsive to the first user input, retrieving and aggregating multiple electronic medical bills each having at least one line; generating one or more findings and multiple scenarios by providing the aggregated electronic medical bills as inference input to a trained machine learning model, wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained with historical electronic medical bills and corresponding findings and scenarios, wherein responsive to the inference input, the trained machine learning model outputs the one or more findings and the multiple scenarios, wherein the one or more findings represent rationales for approving, denying, or repricing, and wherein the multiple scenarios include cost estimates based on the one or more findings.

  • Publication number: 20210319184
    Abstract: A method for analyzing existing digital files to recognize sensitive data in the textual content. The method includes extracting features describing the environmental context in which a file was created and the file content itself and modeling and analyzing pairwise relations between text that exist within a given file; the text itself; and characteristics that exist about the text in relation to the entire file. The method takes the extracted features, including the data itself and its context, and analyzes this data with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms such as decision trees and neural networks to predict whether a document includes sensitive data. Leveraging AI algorithms rather than discrete algorithms carries with it the advantage of being able to handle massive volumes of data, as well as the ever increasing varieties of data.

  • Patent number: 11118885
    Abstract: A portable item carrier and belt feed system is provided along with related methods. One illustrative embodiment includes a carrier and feed structure comprising a semi-rigid material with a divider support extending perpendicularly from a center floor section of the carrier. A belt of items is folded over the divider to reduce jams or misfeeds as the belt of items is pulled through a feed chute near an upper side section of the carrier and feed structure at a predetermined range of feed angles to the divider support. A latch disposed on a lid of the feed structure is configured for quick and easy access to the belt of items. A flexible outer container encloses the carrier and feed structure and can be coupled to a harness section configured to couple with a mobile structure. Additional embodiments include variants suitable for field manufacturing as well as portable manufacturing systems and methods.

  • Publication number: 20200090282
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and insurance claim analysis devices are disclosed that generate an injury severity score based on a delta velocity value for a damaged motor vehicle and occupant data for an occupant of the damaged motor vehicle or motor vehicle data associated with the damaged motor vehicle. A first set of condition indications are identified based on a correlation of the injury severity score with a stored mapping of condition indications to injury severity scores. A determination is made when one or more of the first set of condition indications correspond to one or more of a second set of condition indications in injury data for an electronic insurance claim. The electronic insurance claim is automatically adjudicated based on a likelihood value generated based on the determination. The likelihood value is indicative of whether a reported injury of the occupant resulted from an associated motor vehicle accident.
