Health risk factors and prevention

Swiss Re offers solutions to insurers and their customers to navigate the impacts of cancer, mental health, and rare and chronic diseases on mortality and morbidity. Swiss Re relies on data to empower people to take charge of their health destinies, helping them improve their well-being and boost the resilience of individuals and society.

Ageing populations

People around the globe are living longer, intensifying the challenges associated with their complex post-retirement lives. Innovative insurance solutions provide protection and financial security to people as they age and as their needs change. A trusted insurance industry partner, Swiss Re joins our customers to help them manage and transfer their portfolios' dynamic risks, helping them grow, boost profitability and improve their capital positions. 

Building pandemic resilience

Insurers play a key role in helping navigate life-changing crises that affect hundreds of millions or billions of people once a generation – or once a century. We have fulfilled our role as a financial shock absorber for individuals and society by supporting clients in times of greatest need. Our data-driven insights about communicable diseases help our insurance customers, their clients and the broader public make better decisions to manage the ongoing challenges of this pandemic - and to be ready for the next one.

Closing the protection gap

Swiss Re's ultimate purpose is to make insurance more available and affordable to more people, with the aim of extending financial peace of mind to groups that have traditionally been underserved by insurance protection. We evaluate and deploy new digital solutions that rely on growing sources of health data, to help to make Life & Health underwriting more efficient and user-friendly for our insurance customers and for their clients.
