Droidcon India 2014

The objectives of this session are:

1. Introduction to Wearable devices.
2. Developing applications for Google Glass using GDK.
3. Show GlassIC App - Google Glass based Insurance claims adjuster application

Outline

The GlassIC App developed by L&T Infotech is built on wearable technology - Google Glass. It will help claims adjusters to do their job safely and efficiently, and improve customer experience with real-time claims processing. The GlassIC App makes the Claims Adjustment processes more collaborative, efficient and diligent. GlassIC enables hassle-free use in adverse conditions and helps in audio visual capture of damage assessment, witness statements, and provides ability to scan documents.

Key highlights of app:

1. GlassIC, using Google Maps, helps the adjuster reach the location via the best possible route.
2. Captures images & videos that could be uploaded to the Insurance company’s claim handling system, linked with the Claim Reference.
3. Collaborates with SME’s and Claims Handlers via sharing the images/video of the changes and make the necessary decisions.
4. sends images to the nearest workshop and conference with an associate for expert advise.

GlassIC enables:

1. Collaboration with senior adjusters
2. Reduction in data entry efforts
3. Increase in productivity by 20%
4. Decrease in Claims turn around time by up yo 30%
5. Superior customer experience
6. Significant reduction in cost per verified claim
