Patent number: 11270384Abstract: A DI recovery management system generates a plurality of ranked claimant records and recovery scores. A predictive machine learning model inputs disability income claim data and disability income claimant data into an event history model utilizing discrete-time survival analysis in conjunction with a gradient boosting machine learning model. The claim termination event is one of a plurality of preselected recovery events that indicate that a claimant has achieved return to work capacity. Claimant data used in modeling includes diagnosis data representative of workplace disability duration guidelines. The predictive machine learning model is continually trained using updated disability income claims data. The training procedure transforms claimant records extracted from a DI claims database into a longitudinal format that includes multiple person-year records corresponding to each claimant record.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Haimao Zhan, David Lovejoy

Patent number: 11263837Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining, in near real-time, whether a vehicular incident has occurred and for automatically assessing whether the driver of a specific vehicle contributed to that incident. Data related to a specific vehicle is gathered by at least one sensor. The data is then transmitted to a data processing unit, which uses an incident detection module to determine whether an incident occurred. The system may verify that conclusion by sending a message to the vehicle occupant(s). The system may also take actions in response to the incident. If an incident has occurred, the data processing unit can use the vehicle-related data, as well as external data, to assess the contribution of the vehicle's driver. The system may comprise one or more neural networks. The system may also comprise a database for storing the vehicle-related data.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: SERVICENOW CANADA INC.Inventors: Charles Patrick Dugas, Robert John Riverso, Carlos Benfeito

Patent number: 11257165Abstract: A new design strategy based upon finite state machine models is used to develop a policy administration system. The policy administration system comprises a plurality of finite state machined-based households, each of which is defined by a set of states represented by data that describe or relate to various policies associated with each household, a set of events represented by transactions that operate on the data, and/or a set of transition functions represented by transaction logics and/or product rules that govern how the transactions are processed. In this manner, each finite state machine-based household becomes a type of self-contained policy administration system that may be executed and managed concurrently. Each policy may be an insurance policy, such as an auto, home, life, renters, personal articles, or health insurance policy. Each finite state machine-based or virtual household may facilitate managing, updating, or generating insurance policies for the household and/or household members.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Joseph W.

Patent number: 11257578Abstract: In particular, systems and methods for facilitating the purchase of health-related items such as durable medical equipment are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: responsive to a selection of a health-related product input by a user, automatically determining if the health-related product is a qualified healthcare expense; calculating an out-of-pocket cost to the user of the healthcare product based on a health insurance plan of the user; and generating a coupon for the health-related product that discounts a retail cost of the health-related product to the out-of-pocket cost responsive to a merchant accepting the coupon. In this way, a healthcare consumer may utilize their healthcare insurance benefits to purchase health-related products such as durable medical equipment from retail merchants.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Cambia Health Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Nicole Cathcart, Max Janasik, Alexander Thorpe, Ravi Vedanayagam, Mohan Nair

Patent number: 11257377Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying high risk parking lots. High risk parking lots may be, for example, parking lots that pose a higher than average risk of collisions and/or theft. Auto insurance claim data may be analyzed to identify hazardous areas. A virtual navigation of roads within the hazardous area may be identified. Public parking lots within the virtual navigation map may be defined, with each public parking lot determined as either in a hazardous area or not. A vehicle may be determined to be approaching or parking in a parking lot in a hazardous area, and a nearby public parking lot not associated with the hazardous area may be selected instead. A route from a current position to the nearby public parking lot may be generated, and the vehicle may be routed to the nearby public parking lot. As a result, collisions and thefts may be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: John A.
