Among others, the company has automated its underwriting function with an AI/ML risk scoring model, which is critical to achieve the fastest go-to-market for insurance products. With its vision to re-imagine insurance, KSK’s health and car insurance policies are now powered by an all-in-one app that aggregates primary care, risk prevention alerts and chatbots, and enables the fastest coverage and claims reimbursements.
