A high school senior from Thetford Academy, Vermont, has developed an innovative tech solution called Pathformer to address medical billing errors.
The issue of denied medical claims, which his family experienced, inspired Renner to use artificial intelligence to assign accurate medical codes.
Renner’s system outperforms existing AI models in accuracy, achieving over 96% accuracy in predicting correct procedure codes.
Pathformer processes pathology reports quickly and has tied for first at the Vermont STEM fair, qualifying Renner for the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.
Renner has played a significant role in fostering STEM education at his school, including initiating a STEM club.
Renner plans to study computer science at Stanford and hopes his system will be tested in major billing departments, potentially saving patients from medical billing errors and the associated stress.
