Oral health is recognized by the medical community as an important determinant of overall health, and is associated with other health conditions, socioeconomic indicators, and lifestyle behaviors that are risk factors for mortality. As such, dental health records may be a fertile source of data for life insurers.
By Greg Solomon, Managing Director, Head of Life & Health for Peak Re, Hong Kong
As this insurance industry insider thought leadership piece states, Sikka Software epitomizes the Scorekeeper model, with our data showing the strong correlation between oral and overall health.
Sikka Tobacco Indicator™ is generated for an individual based on his or her dental clinical notes and completed oral health evaluations, which have been fed through a machine-learning model. Sikka’s patient records are assigned to one of two classes: tobacco user (T) or no evidence of tobacco use (N).
