2024 Projects

We will still attempt to make monthly newsletters. However, the focus is going to be less around the Longevity Assistant program and more around two other tangential initiatives.

Avoid 1 Million Deaths: The Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives

This is "a not-for-profit global initiative leading the life insurance industry in deploying targeted screening, testing and triage to identify those policyholders most at risk for sudden death or critical care incidents, providing the framework to mitigate loss by saving one million lives. Our contributors & leadership are dedicated to meeting the challenges ongoing excess morbidity and mortality bring to the industry as a whole and society at large."

Heart issues have been a leading cause of mortality for a long time. This group is advocating for testing and screening deployment across insured populations to provide awareness of heart health, with the hope to motivate action and prevent deaths.

Food Is Medicine + Actuaries for Sustainable HealthCare

This past year, at the Society of Actuaries Health Meeting, an award winning session titled "Food is Medicine: Taste the Difference" showcased the benefits of Produce Prescriptions and Medically Tailored meals. Continuing to champion these solutions and incorporate them into insurers playbooks may be a way to help many populations that struggle with obtaining healthy lifestyles.

One group that has made strides to influence the insurance and healthcare sector is Actuaries for Sustainable Healthcare. It is "an international association of actuaries dedicated to achieving long-term sustainability of health care financing systems through the use of whole food plant-based nutrition. Our mission is to share with our actuarial colleagues and others responsible for health care financing systems the large body of scientific, clinical, and historical evidence showing whole food plant-based nutrition has the ability to not only prevent, but reverse many of the most common and costly chronic (noncommunicable)?conditions which are currently consuming an increasing and unsustainable share of government, employer, insurer and individual budgets."
