Wearable devices are playing an increasingly important role as insurers invest heavily in accurate risk assessment and underwriting procedures. With wearables, insurers can augment their traditional underwriting dataset with additional physiological endpoints, as well as transition more easily from a static underwriting process to a continuous, long-term assessment that provides the ability to engage and affect behaviours and outcomes.

To engage policyholders and reduce medical costs, Garmin Health provides devices and monetary incentives to insurance customers to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle. Garmin Health produces devices for corporate wellness programs, providing biometric sensor data in an ever-expanding industry. Life and re-insurance companies use Garmin’s wearable devices to stratify risk and improve their margins.

Ultimately, Garmin seeks to find and relieve its customers' pain points through its comprehensive data ecosystem which allows them to share the data generated via its wearable sensor technology. Whether it be customer acquisition, health promotion, risk assessment, or selective prevention control, Garmin has access to thousands of partners to find the perfect solution. With the ability to bring wearable devices to customers anywhere around the globe, Garmin is dedicated to helping insurers offer the best health solutions for their customers.

How it works

Third-party collaborators can tap into collected data from wearables to enrich existing insurance programs and build new solutions and personalized user journeys. Data can be accessed via Garmin’s flexible APIs and SDKs.
