A.M. BestTV at EAIC Conference: Asian Insurers Embrace the Analytics Revolution
How insurers are coping with and hoping to take advantage of information technology, specifically data analytics, is a hot-button topic at this year’s conference.
“The insurance industry is built on having the right data and collecting it in the correct way,” said
“One of the interesting areas on the life/health side is in biometrics,” said Solomon. He added that data analytics is allowing companies to look at their clients’ lives on a day-by-day basis, “which helps companies to not just underwrite policies when clients buy one, but to monitor an individual’s health.” Solomon added this would enable companies to intervene sooner if it looks like a problem exists.
