Health + AI: The Next Frontier in Preventive Insurance
How we're building AI-powered preventive models using vitals, claims history, behavior data, and environmental factors to offer dynamic life and health insurance
🧬 The Future of Insurance Is Preventive
The global health insurance industry is at a tipping point. Traditionally, insurance has been reactive — stepping in after sickness or hospitalization. But the future is predictive, preventive, and personalized.
Enabled by Artificial Intelligence (AI), real-time data, and behavioral modeling, insurers are moving toward dynamic, health-linked policies that not only offer coverage but also promote wellness, detect risk early, and price protection more accurately.
At Artivatic, we’re building this future. Our goal: to transform insurers from claim payers to health partners.
The New Paradigm: Predict, Prevent, Personalize
Our mission at Artivatic has always been to reimagine insurance using the power of artificial intelligence. We believe the future isn’t just about underwriting better; it’s about keeping people healthier, longer — and rewarding them for it.
To achieve this, we’re building AI-driven preventive models that leverage:
Health Vitals: Real-time and periodic health data from wearables, devices, diagnostic labs, and wellness apps. Think blood pressure, heart rate, glucose levels, BMI, sleep patterns, and more.
Claims History: Anonymized and structured historical claims data helps us detect patterns and early indicators of chronic conditions, recurring illnesses, and health deterioration.
Behavioral Insights: How a person lives, eats, moves, sleeps, and manages stress matters. By analyzing behavioral cues (like exercise frequency, lifestyle routines, substance use, mental wellness engagement), we create dynamic risk profiles.
Our AI models are trained to identify risk before it materializes into claims — enabling early intervention, lifestyle nudges, and personalized coverage recommendations.
🧠 How AI is Powering Preventive Insurance Models
We’ve developed AI-driven health and life insurance models that merge:
1. Health Vitals (Structured & Real-Time)
Collected from:
Wearables (Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc.)
Smartphones (via apps like Google Fit, Apple Health)
Diagnostic APIs (blood reports, ECG, BMI, etc.)
Face-scanning AI (contactless vitals extraction like heart rate, stress, respiration, and BP from facial videos using computer vision + PPG signal extraction)
💡 Example: Using facial-based vitals, we can detect early hypertension risk in under 30 seconds — without physical equipment.
2. Historical Claims + EMR Data
Using NLP + knowledge graphs, we extract:
Disease patterns
Claim recurrence likelihood
Gaps in medical treatment
Chronic conditions mapping
💡 Use Case: A customer with 3 hospitalization claims for respiratory conditions + seasonal asthma + history of smoking will have a risk heatmap with 85% precision prediction for pulmonary complications in the next 18 months.
3. Behavioral & Lifestyle Data
Sourced from:
Activity levels (steps, workouts, sedentary behavior)
Sleep and stress patterns
Nutrition logs (from 3rd-party wellness apps)
Teleconsultation and prescription history
➡️ Used to generate a Dynamic Risk Profile that changes weekly/monthly, influencing premiums, policy upgrades, or wellness nudges.
4. Environmental & External Data (Non-traditional Inputs)
We integrate external APIs and satellite data for:
Air Quality Index (AQI) → Used to correlate respiratory issues
Weather → Used to forecast seasonal health outbreaks (e.g., dengue, flu)
Disease Hotspots → Geolocation-based outbreak trends from health departments and WHO databases
Geo-location Risk Clusters → Analyzed via mobility and hospitalization trends
💡 Use Case: A policyholder living in Delhi NCR with asthma gets a proactive alert and free teleconsultation during AQI spikes — preventing ER visits.
⚙️ The Technology & AI Stack Behind the Magic
AI Models Used:
Time-Series Prediction (for vitals, risk scoring)
Gradient Boosting & Random Forests (claims prediction)
Deep Learning CNNs (for face vitals)
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) (to detect correlation between diseases, behavior, and location)
LLMs (for claim summarization, medical coding, fraud reasoning)
Bayesian Risk Inference Engines (for early detection)
Dynamic Profiling Pipeline:
Data Ingestion (real-time vitals, external, and historical data)
Preprocessing + Normalization
Risk Modeling Engine (predictive analytics with 1500+ parameters)
Scoring Engine → Outputs:
Health Risk Score
Lifestyle Risk Score
Disease Likelihood Score
Mortality Score
Claim Propensity Score
Personalized Interventions (via nudges, policy edits, rewards, etc.)
🛡️ Fraud Detection Integrated into the AI Loop
Fraudulent claims, identity misuse, and misrepresented disclosures cost insurers billions.
Our system detects fraud using:
Face-compare AI to validate identity during claim videos
Behavioral biometrics (typing, navigation, voice stress) during onboarding
Medical anomaly detection (flagging duplicate prescriptions, non-local diagnoses)
Linguistic AI to analyze doctor notes or documents for inconsistency
💡 Example: A recent case flagged involved a fake hospitalization claimed in a Tier 3 hospital — the system matched it with non-existent doctor license + weather data (flooded hospital zone), instantly flagging fraud.
🚀 Emerging Product Category: Wellness-Linked Dynamic Insurance
We’re at the forefront of what we call Wellness Insurance 2.0 — a revolutionary shift in how insurance is designed, delivered, and experienced.
Unlike traditional insurance, where underwriting is typically a one-time event based on static forms and self-declared health conditions, our AI-powered preventive insurance model introduces continuous and adaptive underwriting. This means a policyholder's risk profile evolves in real-time based on their lifestyle, health data, and environmental context — offering a more accurate and personalized assessment throughout the policy lifecycle.
In traditional models, premiums are fixed at the time of purchase, often based on broad demographic cohorts or general medical history. With our AI systems, premiums can be dynamic, adjusting periodically based on the individual’s current health score, wellness habits, and improvements. This empowers customers to take control of their health and finances — the healthier they live, the less they pay.
When it comes to claims, traditional insurance only activates after an illness or event occurs. But our preventive model is proactive — it’s designed to intervene before illness sets in. Whether it’s a sudden drop in sleep quality, elevated stress levels, or early signs of chronic disease, the system nudges users toward action — be it a check-up, teleconsultation, or lifestyle change — helping prevent the claim in the first place.
The role of the insurer also shifts dramatically. Traditional insurers are seen largely as payout agents — providers that customers engage with only during a crisis. In contrast, AI-powered insurers become wellness partners and health coaches, continuously supporting customers in living healthier lives through insights, alerts, rewards, and even behavioral health guidance.
Finally, the data foundation is vastly different. Traditional insurance models rely solely on historical data — past claims, static lab reports, or old disclosures. In our ecosystem, decision-making is driven by a rich, dynamic blend of real-time vitals, behavioral data, environmental inputs (like AQI and disease patterns), wearable device streams, location risk factors, and more — providing a 360-degree view of a person’s health and risk, moment to moment.
This is not just evolution. It’s a fundamental rethinking of what insurance can be.
