Qumata: A New Standard for Life and Health Insurance Underwriting

Be part of the Tech and Data transformation of an entire sector from its core. We need you to help scale up a pioneer and write history.

The Qumata model uses data to calculate the risk of diagnosis for over 800 conditions, along with Extra Mortalities and Morbidities. This can be used to save applicants hours filling out long insurer questionnaires or visiting the doctor, and disrupting the traditional underwriting process for the benefit of the early adopters.
