Description: In the modern world, users expect a top-notch user experience on whatever device they are using. Marketing, distribution, and user experience have become the trinity in finding, acquiring, and keeping a user through the end of an application process. Recently, particularly in the post-COVID digital-first world, many insurance companies have transformed their technology teams to build significantly improved user-experiences on their websites and mobile apps. The designs are often limited by the insurance products that the consumer wants to interact with (and how they want to interact). In this session, the presenters will look at how actuaries can design the insurance product simultaneously to the user experience, and let the experience drive product development.

Description: Critical factors to consider as we age include where we live, who we interact with, how we get the help and support we need when we need it, and how our health care is organized and delivered. Underlying this is how we finance the cost of specialized housing, care and support. Some communities are age-friendly where we can obtain supportive services, others are not. Some people choose to live in senior housing which integrates support services, others choose to live in the community among people of all ages. Some health care systems are well designed to meet the needs of older people, others are not. The cost of living for older adults, considering all of these factors, varies by community. Explore more about the perspective of older adults, how communities have structured to meet their needs, and how society as a whole is becoming aware of and addressing a growing aging population.
