Strategic Relationship Utilizes Embedded On-Device Computing Enabling U.S. Insurers of all Sizes with or without UBI Programs to Take Advantage of Transparent, Cost-Effective Telematics Intelligence ATLANTA, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - LexisNexis(R) Risk Solutions, a leading provider of data and analytics for the insurance and automotive industries, and IMS, a global connected insurance technology company, today announced the integration of the LexisNexis(R) Drive Metrics scoring model into the IMS EdgeSDK(TM) to benefit U.S. auto insurance carriers and consumers through an all-new smartphone-based telematics solution that gives drivers the ability to share driving data with their insurers. This integration enables more insurers to launch or improve existing usage-based insurance (UBI) programs, taking advantage of potentially significant cost savings, 50% or more[1], by eliminating cloud processing and storage fees associated with traditional telematics programs and reinforcing user transparency and data privacy. Integrating the Drive Metrics model into the EdgeSDK redefines how driving data is managed for auto insurance underwriting, supporting more precise risk assessment and more personalized pricing. Driving behavior information stays on the user's device while generating industry-leading scores and attributes that can be quickly incorporated into existing workflows and are consistent across LexisNexis(R) Telematics Solutions. While the collaboration between LexisNexis Risk Solutions and IMS facilitates a more cost-effective way to execute an insurer-led UBI program, it can also support use cases across the insurance continuum, potentially making normalized data accessible and scalable for a deeper understanding of risk and a better experience for consumers, from the point of quote to claim. Key Highlights * The IMS EdgeSDK with the LexisNexis Drive Metrics model can be seamlessly embedded into an existing insurance company app, or an insurer can utilize the IMS white-label app, reducing complexity and promoting scalability across an insurer's portfolio. * The IMS EdgeSDK integrated with the LexisNexis Drive Metrics model improves the operational expense of UBI, reducing costs up to 50% to 80%[2] by eliminating cloud processing and storage fees associated with traditional telematics programs. * Together, IMS EdgeSDK, incorporating the LexisNexis Drive Metrics model, generates driving scores and attributes that can be seamlessly integrated into an insurer's workflow via a single point of execution while keeping the user's data on their smartphone device. * The LexisNexis Drive Metrics model has been shown to provide 79% improvement above[3] standard rating factors. "The innovation of Drive Metrics and the sophistication of EdgeSDK disrupt the status quo, and what makes this approach especially powerful is the potential - smartphone-based driving insights, vehicle-generated telematics and the industry's broadest collection of insurance risk and claims intelligence, all to benefit insurers and consumers," said Jeffery Batiste, senior vice president and general manager, auto and home insurance, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "Together, these data assets provide a more complete view of risk, helping insurers improve segmentation, strengthen underwriting decisions, streamline operations and increase confidence in the data used throughout the insurance lifecycle." "IMS EdgeSDK and LexisNexis Drive Metrics have the potential to make driving intelligence genuinely mainstream," said Paul Stacy, CEO, IMS. "Together, we're making it possible to put a powerful driving score mechanism into the insurance apps customers already know and use. This gives more drivers the opportunity to use their own driving data to unlock personalized pricing. This is the next-gen approach to usage-based insurance, simple and scalable. It creates a truly scalable foundation for pricing, engagement, and future connected insurance services." Drive Metrics and IMS EdgeSDK together redefine the cost structure of using telematics to assess driving behavior data by combining on-device computing with exclusive analytics from LexisNexis Risk Solutions. The cost and operational challenges of conventional UBI programs have traditionally constrained auto insurers' program growth objectives despite consumer demand for more personalized pricing and insurers' need for driving insights across their portfolios.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions launches self-calibrating AI fraud detection tool. LexisNexis Risk Solutions has introduced Emailage Adaptive, a self-calibrating artificial intelligence fraud scoring system designed to learn continuously from an organization's transaction data and confirmed fraud outcomes. The product arrives as financial institutions and digital businesses face faster-changing fraud patterns and increasing pressure to reduce friction for legitimate users. TNGlobal has previously covered LexisNexis Risk Solutions research on rising digital attack activity and the growing use of AI in fraud and identity systems. Emailage Adaptive analyzes signals including email, IP address, phone and address data and builds tailored models using an organization's own fraud feedback and industry context. Models recalibrate without manual tuning. The company said the system automatically recalibrates as new fraud patterns are confirmed, reducing the lag associated with manually updating fraud models. In testing cited by LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the system captured around 90 percent of fraud among the highest-risk transactions while reducing false positives by more than 80 percent. Those results come from company testing and should not be treated as universal performance guarantees across every deployment. The platform also provides reason codes intended to show which factors influenced a risk score. LexisNexis Risk Solutions positions this explainability layer as a way for fraud teams to understand automated decisions rather than relying only on a black-box score. Adaptive fraud models depend on feedback quality. Continuous recalibration can reduce manual model maintenance, but it also increases the importance of the data and labels used to train the system. If fraud outcomes are incomplete, delayed or incorrectly classified, an adaptive model may learn from weak feedback. LexisNexis Risk Solutions said Emailage Adaptive relies on a regular flow of customer transaction data, industry trends and substantiated fraud feedback. The system is designed to use those inputs to refine its scoring over time. That makes governance around data quality, review thresholds and model monitoring an important part of any deployment, especially where automated risk scores affect account opening, payment approval or other consequential decisions. Fraud teams are trying to reduce both losses and friction. Fraud controls increasingly have two competing goals: catching more malicious activity while avoiding unnecessary declines or manual reviews for legitimate users. Adaptive models are one response to that problem because they can be updated more frequently than traditional rule sets or manually tuned models. Their practical value, however, depends on whether improvements persist across changing transaction volumes, geographies and fraud types. LexisNexis Risk Solutions launched the product globally in September. The company said the system is designed for organizations that want more automated risk scoring without repeatedly rebuilding fraud models by hand.

The toolbox designation validates that the solution aligns with the Epic integration and functionality best practices. "Being in the Epic Toolbox Program validates that our solution seamlessly aligns with Epic technical blueprints, providing healthcare IT teams with a predictable, repeatable deployment process," said Brad Bauer, SVP and general manager, healthcare, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "By removing implementation complexity, we enable health systems to quickly protect patient accounts with robust identity proofing that preserves intuitive user workflows." The integration gives U.S. hospitals and health systems using Epic electronic health record systems convenient access to a modular suite of identity verification and risk decisioning tools designed to help protect Epic MyChart accounts and secure patient data while reducing unnecessary friction for legitimate users. Epic customers can select and combine capabilities based on their desired patient experience, operational priorities and level of assurance associated with risk tolerance. With integration available through the Epic Connection Hub, no custom development is required. The launch comes as malicious bot attacks jumped 59% in 2025[1], emphasizing the need for healthcare organizations to secure digital access across patient portals, digital front doors and workforce systems without slowing down care. As patient portals increasingly support high-value interactions such as account creation, login, account recovery, medical record access, messaging, scheduling and payments, hospitals need identity strategies that go beyond passwords or single-point verification. Identity Proofing for MyChart provides access to solutions that use AI and machine learning to analyze patterns across billions of identity events beyond healthcare interactions, giving organizations broader intelligence to apply layered identity proofing within existing workflows. "The stakes for patient portal security have never been higher," said Bauer. "Hospitals can no longer rely on static identity checks when patient portals are becoming central to how people access care, manage records and make payments. Identity Proofing for MyChart gives healthcare organizations a stronger, more adaptive way to verify identity and recognize trusted users." Identity Proofing for MyChart helps organizations assess risk across the healthcare identity access lifecycle and apply the appropriate level of assurance for each interaction. The solution suite offers a range of verification capabilities including digital identity, email, phone association and biometrics intelligence that leverage AI and machine learning to keep up with the latest threats. The suite can support NIST IAL2-level assurance and help organizations move beyond point-in-time identity checks toward risk-based decisioning. "These capabilities help health systems strengthen trust in digital access while preserving the usability patients and workforces expect," said Bauer. "The configurability of the suite of solutions allows healthcare organizations to keep routine interactions relatively simple while managing higher-risk interactions with stronger verification to help defend against emerging threats like synthetic identity fraud, forged documents and deepfake-enabled impersonations."
