139 results about "Relative risk" patented technology

The relative risk (RR) or risk ratio is the ratio of the probability of an outcome in an exposed group to the probability of an outcome in an unexposed group. It is computed as Iₑ/Iᵤ, where Iₑ is the incidence in the exposed group, and Iᵤ is the incidence in the unexposed group. Together with risk difference and odds ratio, relative risk measures the association between the exposure and the outcome.

Identifying risk of a medical event

Described is a method of determining the relative risk of an outcome based on an analysis of multiple risk factors. A graphical method is used to take values corresponding to risk parameters and an event outcome to produce a smoothed surface map representing relative risk over an entire space defined by n risk factors. Applying a query data point to the surface map permits the determination of the estimated outcome probability for the query data point, based on its location on the surface map. The method then reports a relative risk or other probability measure associated with the query data point. Also described is a method of analysis in which subpopulations previously identified as high-risk can be further analyzed with respect to risk posed by additional factors.

Automated claims processing system

A computer system-based automated loss verification system for evaluating the validity of claims filed under an insurance policy or debt protection contract is provided by this invention. Instead of requiring the claimant to contact the insurance company or lender to file the claim and provide exhaustive documentary proof of the validity of the claimed loss, the system pre-scores the relative risk of the claim using a risk assessment tool based upon predictive modeling and a number of potential risk factors. The associated automated loss verification tool uses this risk score and other information connected with the claim to assign a relative confidence level of proof of valid loss that must be satisfied before the claim can be approved through the adjudication process, and assigns a third-party supplied source or combination of sources of proof that can be automatically accessed by the system to validate the claim.

Self-customizing, multi-tenanted mobile system and method for digitally gathering and disseminating real-time visual intelligence on utility asset damage enabling automated priority analysis and enhanced utility outage response

A self-customizing, multi-tenanted mobile system includes digitally gathering and disseminating real-time visual intelligence on utility asset damage enabling automated priority analysis and enhanced utility outage response. A preferred embodiment may be made up of, for example, communication module (102) to transfer geo-coded damage imaging and associated metadata simultaneously from multiple outage-causing damage locations to dispatchers and operations personnel in the utility control room and in the field. A mobile application (101) is installed onto the first responder's Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled mobile device (104) to send metadata to a multi-tenanted intelligent platform (MTIP) (106). MTIP (106) determines which utility tenant receives the damage report and customizes all aspects of the technical solution: the first responder mobile application (101), the central web portal (103) and the damage viewing application for utility field personnel (110). A central web portal (103) running on a control room personal computer running a Javascript capable browser or similar environment (105) receives geo-coded damage imaging and associated metadata from mobile application (101) via the MTIP (106) which automatically analyzes event location, relevance and severity to compute, recommend and communicate event priority. MTIP (106) further analyzes inbound images using computer vision technology and wire geometry algorithms to determine relative risk and event priority of downed wires. The multi-tenanted intelligent platform (106) is used to store outage-causing damage information and perform damage assessment enabling dispatchers to respond appropriately. A preferred embodiment enables external users—specifically municipal first responders (fire, police and municipal workers) to report outage-causing damage to the electric grid and provides a simple, easily deployable and secure system. The system then uses location, severity and role-based rules to dynamically notify appropriate utility personnel (112) via text message, email notification or within the damage viewing application on the field personnel's mobile device (110) so they are best able to respond and repair the damage. A preferred embodiment also speeds and improves communication between municipalities and utilities, and enhances the transparency of utility damage repair leading to outage resolution.
