RISK-CONSULTING chosen as Forward Thinker by Google and SZ

Google and Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) announced the winners of the Digital Lighthouse awards on December 6th, 2016 for exemplary digitalization projects in the insurance sector. RISK-CONSULTING was awarded the first prize in the special category “Forward Thinker” for the development of its AktuarCompress^® system. AktuarCompress^® is a tool which compresses the claims data of persons with medical expenses insurance into meaningful and easily interpreted information. The claims history of each individual is reduced to a structured summary of the relevant medical data, giving the insurer a holistic view of the medical history of the insured. It thus provides the insurer with a high-quality basis for a wide range of automated applications, including health management programs, cross-selling campaigns and claims management. AktuarCompress^® enables an efficient use of the information contained in the claims data.
