Solution Overview

Problem

The process of electronically submitting applications for benefits, such as disability benefits, often lacks guidance and efficiency, leading to uncertainty in approval likelihood and requiring multiple iterations, which can result in errors and increased system resource usage.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilizes historical data from previously submitted applications to generate updated application data, processed by a processor to increase the likelihood of approval, featuring guided user interfaces and automated processes, including AI-powered suggestions and data retrieval, to streamline the submission process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual or semi-automated application processes are used, then user input can be collected, but the process lacks guidance and efficiency leading to uncertainty in approval likelihood

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication process guidanceVSAvoidapproval likelihood
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides real-time feedback to users during the application process by analyzing historical data from previously submitted applications. It suggests improvements to application data fields based on what has worked before, giving users guidance on how to complete the application for better approval chances. This feedback mechanism directly addresses the lack of guidance while improving reliability through data-driven suggestions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of historical application data before the user completes the application. It pre-identifies patterns, successful strategies, and potential issues based on past approvals and denials. This preliminary action equips users with knowledge about what application data characteristics lead to approval, improving both ease of operation through guidance and reliability through informed data entry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple iterations are needed for application processing, then completeness can be improved, but system resource usage increases and time is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication completenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation and completeness checking by analyzing historical data patterns before the application is submitted. It identifies missing or insufficient data fields based on what has been successful in past applications, allowing users to complete the application in fewer iterations. This preliminary action ensures completeness while reducing the time and resources needed for multiple processing cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides continuous feedback during application completion, indicating which fields need attention based on historical approval patterns. This feedback guides users to provide complete and appropriate data in the first submission, reducing the need for multiple iterations and supplements, thereby decreasing processing time and system resource usage while maintaining application completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If historical data is accessed and applied to update application data, then approval likelihood increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapproval likelihoodVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary layer that automatically analyzes historical data and translates it into actionable suggestions for the current application. This intermediary component handles the complexity of data analysis, pattern recognition, and comparison, allowing the main application system to benefit from historical data without directly managing the complexity of accessing, storing, and processing large datasets. The intermediary abstracts away the complexity while improving approval likelihood through data-driven insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for disability benefits analysis and submission. Inputs are received relating to a disability benefits application to be submitted and processed to generate application data for a disability benefits application. Historical data relating to the plurality of previously submitted disability benefits applications is accessed and the application data is updated based on the historical data to generate updated application data, wherein the updated application data has a greater likelihood of approval than the application data. A disability benefits application using the updated application data is generated.
