Enabling real-time underwriting processing and fraud risk reduction for insurers

The real-time insurance underwriting system enables simultaneous use of multiple data sources for decision-making. It incorporates straight-through processing and ensures data security and compliance with privacy regulations. The system leverages real-time insights from experts and provides APIs for data distribution and Health Score dissemination. It offers flexibility for integrating diverse data sources and connecting with new workflows while integrating with existing underwriting models.

The Business Challenges

Insurance underwriting is a human-driven process which is costly and inefficient.
Underwriters spend a significant amount of time reviewing unstructured data collected from disparate sources.
Mainly a manual process which has an impact on the accuracy and consistency of the decision-making.
New life applications are withdrawn due to long wait times for medical underwriting.
There is a possibility of non-disclosure through the current process versus a validated application. This has an impact on claims underwriting further downstream.
