Patent number: 12288456Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing entities, and/or the like, for identifying deviated behavior of an individual indicated by outlying activity counts and outlying activity timings classified by a prediction interval profile generated from historical behavior data. In an embodiment, an example method comprises accessing sensor data describing behavioral activities of an individual during historical time periods and generating a prediction interval profile for the behavioral activities comprising a predicted count interval within a prediction time period for at least some behavioral activities. The method further includes receiving sensor data for the prediction time period and extracting an observed activity count and an observed activity timing for each behavioral activity.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Optum, Inc.Inventors: Megan O'Brien, Damian Kelly, Gregory Buckley, Colleen B.

Patent number: 11676368Abstract: A computing system may train an autoencoder to generate a first set of codes from a first set of thermal video images of activities of a user in an environment. The activities may represent routine behaviors of the user in the environment. The computing system may use an unsupervised machine-learning algorithm to categorize the first set of codes into a set of clusters. The computing system may use the autoencoder to determine a code representative of a second set of thermal video images of an activity in the environment. Based on the code not being associated with any cluster in the set of clusters, the computing system may determine that the code is an anomalous code. The computing system may perform an alert action based on the anomalous code.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: OPTUM SERVICES (IRELAND) LIMITEDInventors: Megan O'Brien, Damian Kelly
