The vital signs collected include heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure. Vastmindz technology collects physiological data through a 60 to 90-second video; the assessment data can be used to supplement or reduce application form questions, provide medical evidence, and could reduce costs and delays while increasing the accuracy of disclosure. Vastmindz was named 2022 Microsoft for Start-ups ”Partner of the Year” for ”Business Excellence.”

Around the World

We are working with multiple large insurtechs in the accelerated underwriting space. These insurtechs are developing new tools by leveraging health, credit, and other data that can assess mortality risk.

In collaboration with these companies, as well as with insurance carriers, we are evaluating these tools to help the carriers reduce underwriting time and effort, and increase throughput of applications while at the same time minimizing mortality slippage.
