Pearl recently received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its dental practice data analysis AI technology.
Patent No. 11,776,677, titled “Computer Vision-Based Analysis Of Provider Data” gives the company exclusive rights to the AI systems behind its Practice Intelligence clinical performance platform, according to a press release. This patent expands Pearl’s portfolio of exclusive intellectual property.
The patent covers machine learning techniques used to analyze data associated with one or more dental practices to identify missed treatment opportunities, future treatment opportunities, or provider performance metrics. Practice Intelligence analyzes AI-detected evidence in patient radiographs in conjunction with patient treatment data to identify office and practitioner-specific patterns. The system then synthesizes its findings into actionable patient health and clinical performance insights.
The company was also recently issued a patent for its “Systems and Methods for Automated Medical Image Analysis,” which grants Pearl exclusive rights to the computer system technology supporting the application programming interface (API) of its chairside AI disease detection software, Second Opinion. Other recent patents include “Computer Vision-Based Claims Processing,” “Systems and Methods for Insurance Fraud Detection (2021)”, “Systems and Methods For Insurance Fraud Detection (2020)” and “Systems and Methods for Automated Medical Image Annotation.” Pearl now has 12 U.S. patents.
