  • Publication number: 20230177518
    Abstract: In an approach for proactively detecting and resolving an issue of a plurality of active callers placed in a call queue using a machine learning technique, a processor monitors a call queue. A processor determines that a first threshold is triggered when a pre-set percentage of active callers are placed in the call queue. A processor analyzes a set of information in a customer account of each active caller for one or more common factors. A processor identifies a reason for the event occurring from the one or more common factors. A processor registers the event occurring as the domain event. A processor resolves the event occurring by providing the plurality of active callers with a resolution. A processor determines if a second threshold is triggered. Responsive to determining the second threshold is triggered, a processor executes an Interactive Voice Response workflow.

  • Publication number: 20230179983
    Abstract: In an approach for monitoring a user's in-flight activity and/or a pattern of movement of a user and warning the user of an in-flight activity or a pattern of movement that could lead to a potential short-term or long-term injury, a processor monitors a body movement and a posture of a user through an application of micro-location analysis enabled by a mesh network of 5G sensors over a period of time. A processor determines whether the body movement and the posture detected can lead to an activity or a series of activities that can result in a potential injury. Responsive to determining a pre-set threshold of risk has been reached, a processor issues a real time alert to the user to warn of the potential injury.
