Sikka Oral Healthcare Indicators Provide Incremental Protective Value in Life Insurance Underwriting

Dental data is being used in underwriting for the first time on ExamOne’s HealthPiQture Platform March 13, 2023 -- sikka.ai, which provides oral healthcare indicators (OHI) as well as mortality scores to life insurance companies for underwriting, announced that its data is now being used by multiple carriers for life insurance underwriting through its collaboration with ExamOne. Sikka.ai has one of the largest databases of dental patient information in the US and Canada, with over 130 million patients on its platform. The OHIs, available with applicant consent and delivered in real time through ExamOne’s HealthPiQture™ platform, include flags for tobacco use, cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, liver disease, diabetes, kidney disease, blood disorders, and marijuana use. These indicators are returned on ExamOne’s HealthPiQture report and identify when any or all of these conditions were disclosed or recorded via clinical notes at the time of a dental exam. &q
