Munich Re launches underwriting tool SARA for insurers in EU and Latin America

Munich Re Automation Solutions, a provider of automated underwriting and analytics solutions to the life insurance industry, launches of new module Interview Screens for its automated underwriting point of sale solution, SARA (Smart Automated Risk Assessment).

Lightweight and flexible, SARA Interview Screens adopt the visual experience and user interface of the insurer’s own brand, providing applicants with a seamless journey through the underwriting process.

The Interview Screens engage the underwriting engine, guiding question presentation and prompting user interactions.

Initially, as applicants answer a set of interview questions based on their profile, the underwriting engine leverages the predefined SARA rules and questionnaires to determine whether to employ reflexive questions or if an underwriting action should be applied as a result of a disclosure.

Once all questions are answered, a comprehensive summary screen displays all entered information, which reverts to the underwriting engine for final decision-making.
