ARC Webinar Series: Use of Big Health and Actuarial Data understanding Longevity and Morbidity Risks (Webinar)
Through its Actuarial Research Centre (ARC), the IFoA is sponsoring a research programme that seeks to develop new methods for assessing basis risk and evaluating longevity improvement based on Big Health and Actuarial Data.
Join this webinar to hear more from the Principal Investigator of this research programme, Professor Elena Kulinskaya (University of East Anglia) and Co-Investigator Nigel Wright (Aviva).
This webinar (note it will be repeated in the evening) is part of a series to showcase four large research programmes currently running through the ARC, which seek to address some of the significant challenges in actuarial science.
To find out more about the other webinars that will be taking place this Autumn, please visit the ARC webinar series page. You can also book on to all webinars at the same time as booking your place on this webinar.
By joining this webinar you will learn about the objectives of this research programme and some of the early developments since its commencement in 2016. You will be able to ask questions via a live feed to our speakers, joining in the debate wherever you are located in the world.
The ‘Use of Big Health and Actuarial Data for understanding Longevity and Morbidity Risks’ research programme has the following aims:
- identification and quantification of the key factors affecting mortality/longevity such as lifestyle choices, medical conditions and/or interventions
- modelling of temporal changes in the factors affecting morbidity and mortality
- evaluation of plausible scenarios in mortality trends due to particular medical advances or lifestyle changes on the population of insureds of relevance to actuarial community
- tools to forecast longevity risk of a book based on realistic scenarios of uptake of various health behaviours and/or interventions, or of particular disruptions to population health.
Further details on this research programme can be found here.
These events are eligible for CPD and a recording of the live webinar will be available to view on our website shortly after the event.
Monday 17th September, 09:00-10:00 and again from 17:00-18:00. Further details, including link for booking a place can be found here: https://www.actuaries.org.uk/learn-develop/attend-event/arc-webinar-series-use-big-health-and-actuarial-data-understanding-longevity-and-morbidity-risks
