  • Patent number: 11423356
    Abstract: A clinical documentation improvement (CDI) smart scoring method may include predicting, via per-condition diagnosis machine learning (ML) models and based on clinical evidence received by a system, a probability that a medical condition is under-documented and, via per-condition documentation ML models and based on documentation received by the system, a probability that a medical condition is over-documented. The under- and over-documentation scores are combined in view of special indicators and queryability factors, which can also be evaluated using ML query prediction models, to generate an initial CDI score. This CDI score can be further adjusted, if necessary or desired, to account for factors such as length of stay, payer, patient location, CDI review timing, etc. The final CDI score can be used to prioritize patient cases for review by CDI specialists to quickly and efficiently identify meaningful CDI opportunities.

  • Patent number: 11368491
    Abstract: Techniques are described for adjusting policy characteristics based on a determined similarity between routes. A similarity metric may be determined indicating the similarity between a first route followed by a vehicle and/or driver and a second (e.g., previous) route followed by the vehicle and/or driver. A similarity metric may indicate the similarity in movements, and changes in movement, exhibited by the vehicle on the routes. The similarity metric may be determined through analysis of real time data collected by in-vehicle sensor(s), mobile user device(s), external sensors or other data sources. Based on the similarity metric, a premium, a deductible, a price, or other characteristic(s) of a policy may be determined. In some examples, policy characteristics may be adjusted (e.g., in real time) based on the analysis according to changing risk conditions if a driver is following routes that are dissimilar from typical routes.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for clustering data for use in training models to predict a loss metric for insurance. The historical data is cleaned and aggregated to a quarterly time granularity and a zip code geographic granularity, and features on which to generate the clusters are selected. Clusters are generated using one or more clustering algorithms, evaluated, and the best set of clusters is selected. Clusters may be grouped together based on cluster characteristics. Each cluster or group of clusters is used to train a development model and a forecast model for the loss metric. The accuracy of the development and forecast models is evaluated, and the clustering process is repeated until the accuracy and stability of the development and forecast models is sufficient. At each iteration, historical data may be removed and/or hyperparameters of the clustering algorithms may be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11361385
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to process claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The enhanced claims processing server may submit a signal that locks one or more portions of an application on the mobile device used to submit the photos/videos. The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video. The photos may further be annotated using, for example, a touch screen display. An estimate, such as a cost estimate, may be determined for the damage associated with the insured item based on the photos and/or annotations.

  • Patent number: 11358545
    Abstract: Techniques are described for vehicle activity information collection and analysis. A vehicle activity information unit in a vehicle generates vehicle activity information including video data that is captured by interior and/or exterior camera(s) on the vehicle. The vehicle activity information can also include sensor data generated by an accelerometer, a compass, a temperature sensor, a Global Positioning System module, and/or other sensor(s). The vehicle activity information can also include audio data generated by at least one microphone. In some implementations, at least a portion of the vehicle activity information is collected during a period of time that includes an event (e.g., an accident). The information is stored in data storage with an association between the information and the event, and is processed to generate performance data associated with a driver of the vehicle. The performance data can be presented through a user interface to the driver or other(s).

  • Patent number: 11361866
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable injury prediction using one or more processors for receiving a time-varying signal of sensor measurements from a sensor device associated with a user. The processor(s) generate time windows of the time-varying signal, including a series of the sensor measurements across a predetermined time period, and generate motion features based at least in part on the series of the sensor measurements of the time windows. The processor(s) utilize an injury risk classification machine learning model to predict an injury risk during each time window based at least in part on the motion features. An injury alert message is generated based at least in part on the injury risk being predicted; and transmitting the injury alert message to at least one user computing device.

  • Patent number: 11363411
    Abstract: According to some embodiments of the invention, movement measurements may be obtained from a movement sensor (e.g., an accelerometer) of a mobile device in a vehicle. In addition, location measurements may be obtained from a location sensor (e.g., a GPS) of the mobile device in the vehicle. The movement measurements and the location measurements may be cross-referenced to each other to remove erroneous measurements, such as physically impossible measurements. The remaining measurements may be used to draw conclusions about the movements or locations, such as to identify a movement event (e.g., a braking event, an acceleration event, or the like).

  • Patent number: 11348175
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure describe systems and methods for handling a loss involving an insured vehicle. A total loss evaluation and handling system receives vehicle telematics data from a vehicle telematics device that monitors the vehicle. The total loss evaluation and handling system determines that a loss involving the vehicle has occurred, and a total loss evaluator selects a set of total loss rules configured to determine whether the loss is a total loss. The total loss evaluator applies the total loss rules selected to the vehicle telematics data received and determines whether the loss is a total loss based on the total loss rules applied. A total loss handler obtains an estimated value of the vehicle and generates a settlement amount based on the estimated value. The total loss handler initiates a payment corresponding to the settlement amount as settlement for the total loss.
