As we mark World Health Day on April 7th, it’s clear that health systems must evolve to address a growing range of challenges. Actuaries worldwide play a critical role in this evolution, using advanced data analysis, risk assessment, and predictive modeling to guide better decision-making and build more resilient, equitable systems.
In this newsletter, we explore key trends and innovations impacting health, including the effects of climate change, inequities in women’s healthcare, the rise of preventive care and digital health solutions, and advancements in obesity treatments. We also look at lessons from the pandemic and cutting-edge AI-driven risk assessment techniques utilizing non-traditional data sources.
Our international partners are at the forefront of these efforts, offering valuable insights into building stronger, more adaptive health systems. Stay tuned for forward-thinking perspectives!
