Presented by Richard Purcell, Hymans Robertson

The life insurance market has seen relatively little disruption to date. However, technology and behavioural science have been drivers of disruption in various other markets. The question is how can they be harnessed to do the same in life and critical illness markets?

 

This talk will start by considering how the need for life and critical illness is evolving, and the challenges traditional insurance models face. We will also explore some key behavioural science theories and new technologies such as wearables, and how they could be applied in an insurance framework. The talk will use case studies to analyse some of the early successes and challenges where these technologies and techniques have been applied so far.
