Machine Learning is only as
good as the data it learns from
32. However, we’ve found triage applications can add real value
• Supporting existing processes – rather than inventing new ones
• Improves consistency and speed of existing processes
• Pilot real tools so both you and the machine can learn

Machine reviews 100% of cases to triage
which cases the QA team should audit fully

AI is increasingly being used in care – Fiona and I saw that in Silicon Valley and we’ve found quite a different use case which is complementary to many of other things we are doing like the Health Service support materials.
This project came out of the insight that many customers on claim look for support from somebody who has been through a similar experience. Sometimes they find it hard even to talk to their family and loved ones but want somebody who can understand their situation – for example, often men find it hard to talk to their wives if their role in the family as primary bread winner is taken away by ill health so they might need somebody who has been through something similar who can empathise.
Now one of the things about TAL, is that we know thousands of people who have been through claims and so there is a vast pool of untapped experience and empathy amongst our former claimants.
Now for operational and legal reasons, its quite hard and risky to actually connect these people in real life.
So instead, we have created Cora – here’s the welcome video that sets out how it works

We started with a small pilot, and one of the things that we found was that one of the most powerful elements of the service was actually for the ‘mentors’ - the former claimants seemed to get so much out of giving something back and helping others like them.
So we’re now expanding the pilot to enable claimants to tell their story as well – which actually also ties in with one of the tips from one of the former claimants about journaling their experience as a way of dealing with it. Also, whilst we started with just musculo-skeletal injuries we’re now expanding to a much broader set of claims and these 2 things should help us scale the pilot and we now have a number of our group partners interested in the service too.
