When someone experiences paralysis or major nerve damage, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. AI tools can appear to offer clarity by turning your answers into a numeric range.
But in practice, the most important “inputs” aren’t just your diagnosis. For spinal cord injury cases, insurers focus on what the record proves:
- Neurological severity (motor/sensory function and impairment level)
- Complications that affect long-term health (skin integrity, respiratory issues, infections)
- Functional limitations (transfers, bowel/bladder management, mobility tolerance)
- Whether the injury is improving, stable, or declining
AI can’t truly replace those evidence-based steps—especially when it’s working from limited details rather than imaging reports, inpatient notes, and clinician assessments.
