Abstract:
A mobile device for use by a health care recipient in countering phantom billing fraud in connection with receiving health care services. A sensor bank comprises components capturing and outputting biometric data corresponding to the health care recipient and components capturing and outputting location data of the health care recipient. A sensor fusion component receives the biometric data and the location data and determines a confidence score that a particular user indicated by the biometric data was at a particular location indicated by the location information. An event record creator compiles the location data, the biometric data and the confidence score to create an event record evidencing the whereabouts of the health care recipient at a particular time. A data storage device stores the event record indicating when the particular user was at the particular location based upon the confidence score, a timestamp at which the biometric data and location data are captured, the biometric data and location data such that the stored event record evidences the whereabouts of the health care recipient at a time indicated by the timestamp.

Claim (Index 1):
A user controlled mobile device for use by a health care recipient which operates independent of health care facility hardware and for use in countering phantom billing fraud in connection with receiving health care services, the mobile device comprising:\n a sensor bank in the user controlled mobile device, the sensor bank comprising one or more components capturing and outputting biometric data identifying the health care recipient and one or more components capturing and outputting location data of the health care recipient wherein one or more of the components capturing and outputting location data for confirming the presence of the health care recipient at the time of a visit with a health care provider are selected from the group consisting of GPS, assisted GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, or near field communication and wherein the one or more components capturing and outputting biometric data are selected from the group consisting of fingerprint readers, image analyzers, voice processors, facial recognition scanners, iris scanners, or retinal scanners; a sensor fusion component implemented as part of a microprocessor, microcontroller or system-on-chip in the user controlled mobile device and configured to receive the biometric data and the location data that indicate a particular user identified by the biometric data was at a particular location indicated by the location information, wherein the sensor fusion component uses sensor fusion algorithms to condition the biometric data and the location data by weighing individual confidences and combining them to determine a composite confidence level to increase a confidence score of captured biometric data and/or captured location data; an event record creator in the user controlled mobile device creating an event record compiling without explicit user intervention the location data, the biometric data, and a timestamp corresponding to a time of capture of the location data and the biometric data occurring or detected at or near the time of timestamp and controlled by the user evidencing the whereabouts of the health care recipient at a particular time and said record evidences an existence or an absence of phantom billing, wherein the event record includes one or more confidence scores relevant to a determination of confidence in the accuracy or trustworthiness of the captured location data and the capture biometric data; a permissions engine in the user controlled mobile device having an interface for receiving permissions indications from the health care recipient that grant access permissions and define access conditions to specific event records in the mobile device to third party services specified by the heath care recipient, wherein the access permissions and access conditions are stored with each event record; and a data storage device in the user controlled mobile device storing the event record indicating when the health care recipient was at the particular location based upon the confidence score, the timestamp, the biometric data and location data, whereby the stored event record, by use of the sensor bank, the sensor fusion component, the permissions engine under user control by the health care recipient, and the data storage device all within the mobile device, evidences the location of the health care recipient at a time indicated by the timestamp and are accessible when the health care recipient-specified access permissions and access conditions are satisfied.
