  • Publication number: 20200128899
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for predicting a neurological injury to a participant in an activity. The activity can be, for example, an athletic activity that involves repeated, high-impact collisions between participants. Sensor data reflecting interactions between participants in the activity is received from various wearable and non-wearable sensors. The sensor data is evaluated in conjunction with a baseline neurological risk profile of a participant to determine a likelihood that the participant has suffered a potential neurological injury. If this likelihood meets a threshold risk level, an onsite request/response test is initiated to glean more information relating to the participant's condition. Response data associated with the onsite test is cognitively evaluated to determine an updated likelihood of neurological injury to the participant and a follow-up action is determined based on the updated likelihood of neurological injury.

  • Publication number: 20200127902
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes training a cognitive engine to recognize a set of tags in customer data, where the set of tags are associated with one or more early-access programs of one or more products. A first set of customer data associated with a first instance of a first early-access program is submitted to the trained cognitive engine, where the first instance is associated with a customer and a first product. A plurality of data packets associated with the tags are received from the trained cognitive engine, responsive to the first set of customer data. The first instance of the first early-access program is reconciled based at least in part on the plurality of data packets.
