Through its Actuarial Research Centre (ARC), the IFoA is sponsoring a research programme that seeks to develop new methods for assessing basis risk and evaluating longevity improvement based on Big Health and Actuarial Data. Join this webinar to hear more from the Principal Investigator of this research programme, Professor Elena Kulinskaya (University of East Anglia) and industry expert Nigel Wright (Aviva).
By joining this webinar you will learn about the objectives of this research programme and some of the early developments since its commencement in autumn 2016. You will be able to ask questions via a live feed to our speakers, joining in the debate wherever you are located in the world.
The Big Health and Actuarial Data programme has the following four aims:
- identify and quantify the key factors affecting mortality and longevity, such as lifestyle choices, medical conditions and/or interventions;
- modelling of temporal changes in the factors affecting morbidity and mortality;
- evaluation of plausible scenarios in mortality trends of insureds due to medical advances or lifestyle changes; and
- development of software tools to forecast longevity risk.
Further details on this research programme can be found here
These events are eligible for CPD and a recording of the live webinar will be available to view on our website shortly after the event.
