Description: 2021 Life Meeting - Session 8A: Use of Electronic Health Records in the Assessment of Life and Health Risks 9.1.21 Recording

Description: The SOA, with SCOR as the researcher, completed an experience study of post-level term (PLT) lapse and mortality. In the first part of this session, the presenters will cover the key findings of the traditional analysis regarding the shock lapse, the PLT lapse and mortality experience. The remainder of the session will focus on the results of the predictive modeling, which will provide further insights into policyholder behavior in the post-level term period.

Description: Eager to learn more about what an InsurTech is, how they operate in the insurance ecosystem and how actuaries can participate in this ecosystem? Join actuaries, InsurTechs and participants in the ecosystem to discuss the recent research report on InsurTechs by the SOA. At the conclusion of the session, attendees will be able to: • Know more about InsurTechs and how they operate • Understand how insurers work with InsurTechs • Discover how actuaries can participate in this ecosystem • Learn practical lessons from both InsurTechs and actuaries This session is presented by the Entrepreneurial & Innovation Section.

Description: Discover the impact of COVID-19 on member costs post diagnosis and the future of mortality in this Emerging Long Term COVID-19 Trends webcast. This webcast will be split up into Health and Life portions. During the Health portion of this webcasts, you will learn more about the impact on risk scores due to recent findings. Enjoy this discussion and further dive into the emerging COVID-19 trends that may affect how you conduct business practices. At the Life portion, the SOA Research Institute assembled a panel of mortality experts who will express opinions on the effects of the U.S. mortality rate for general, insured and pension populations in the short-term.

Description: Electronic Health Records are here to stay. Take a deep dive into the world of electronic health records and how the industry is poised to utilize this new form of digital medical data to transform the way policies are underwritten and ultimately, transforming the client experience. Listen to industry experts speak about what they are doing to use this data most effectively and how this ultimately develops into ground-breaking solutions for the industry.

Description: The Individual Life Experience Committee has numerous research projects underway. Take a look at three current areas of research: the analysis of the interaction of lapse and mortality experience using data from mandatory submissions; a deep dive into old age mortality; and an update on the committee's work to establish a predictive analytics framework that will be open for all actuaries and data scientists to use. By attending the session, you will: - Better understand the research conducted by the Individual Life Experience Committee. - Better understand the link between lapse and mortality experience, appreciate some of the nuances of older age mortality, and gain knowledge about a predictive analytics framework that will be released in the future.

Description: The industry sees extreme value in predictive modeling and its ability to help us meet customer demands and remain profitable, but do customers and regulators look at this as a favorable addition to our process? Hear from a dynamic panel of industry experts who will tackle a variety of issues and questions from the state of the regulatory environment to the responsibilities of the carrier.

Description: Term products exhibit a wide range of behavior as policyholders can elect different term periods and conversion options. While term products have been around for decades, it's only recently that longer level term products are reaching the end of the level term period. Term conversions have historically been an afterthought and are rarely modeled. Discuss the use of predictive modeling techniques such as LASSO regression and cross-validation to build models for level term lapses and post-level term shock lapses, as well as the extrapolation of experience for shorter term products to longer term products (e.g., extrapolating 20-year term experience and applying to 30-year term). Explore the use of traditional techniques to develop term conversion rates and a framework for modeling the assumption. Challenges and limitations of setting lapse and conversion rates will be discussed. By attending the session, you will: - Understand the complexities of term policyholder behavior. - Understand the challenges in developing and implementing assumptions for lapses and conversions. - Understand the application of traditional and predictive modeling techniques for term policyholder behavior.
