Anthem CIO Anil Bhatt is working with Google Cloud to create a synthetic data platform that will let the health insurance company better detect fraud and offer personalized care to its members.
Four things to know:
- Anthem and Google Cloud will use algorithms and statistical models to generate approximately 1.5 to 2 petabytes of synthetic data, including artificially generated data sets of medical histories, healthcare claims and other key medical data.
- The goal is to use the synthetic data to validate and train AI algorithms that identify things like fraudulent claims or abnormalities in a person’s health records.
