  • Parametric system for risk sharing of critical illness risks and corresponding method thereof
    Patent number: 10346921
    Abstract: Proposed are a parametric, event-driven critical illness insurance system based on a resource-pooling system (1) and method for risk sharing of critical illness risks of a variable number of risk exposure components (21, 22, 23) by providing a dynamic self-sufficient risk protection for the risk exposure components (21, 22, 23) by means of the resource-pooling system (1). The resource-pooling system (1) comprises an assembly module (5) to process risk-related component data (211,221,231) and to provide the likelihood (212, 222, 232) of said risk exposure for one or a plurality of the pooled risk exposure components (21, 22, 23, . . . ) based on the risk-related component data (211, 221, 231).
