What is one other thing you’d want your readers to know about you that will make you stand out?

Toonimo is introducing a patented Voice-Bot technology that will in my opinion change the way individuals interact with the web and apps. The technology enables conversational voice interaction over the web that incorporates another sense while browsing. Imagine for example you enter your Telco provider from your mobile device, you click on a button that asks you “How can I Help?”, you reply with speech by saying “I want a mobile plan”, then the bot agent replies back “Do you already have a plan with us or are you looking to join us?”, and it continues having a human-like conversation with follow-up questions until the software can redirect you to the area of need and from there guide you on the rest of the process with our core patented audio-visual technology.

Name of the founders:

Yuval Man, CEO

Amit Man, CTO

What is your product?

DigitalOwl uses advanced technology for faster medical records review, delivering increased productivity and a competitive edge.

What problem are you trying to solve?

MANUALLY REVIEWING MEDICAL RECORDS IS EXPENSIVE!
Manually reviewing medical records at scale is a huge drain on resources.

• Time-consuming
• Labor-intense
• Tedious, monotonous
• Error-prone

Cost challenges are amplified when highly skilled workers spend hours sorting through medical records.Human review of medical records is not accurate enough, and essential information is often missed. Computers don’t get bored or tired, and they extract more meaningful medical information in

a significantly shorter time.

Humans missed medical findings such as blood clot, hypertension, laparotomy, loss of consciousness, disc herniation, biopsy, smoker & more. But, this is to be expected. Reviewing hundreds or thousands of pages of medical information is extremely tiring and challenging, even for trained professionals.

Underwriters, Claim Analysts, and Clinical Experts are good at making decisions. But decision-making is often only as good as the information we have.

What is the current status of your business?

DigitalOwl operates in the US and Israel, helping Life, Disability, Accident, W/C, and BI carriers in the underwriting and claims analysis process.

What are your goals from the ITC convention?

We would love to meet claims and underwriting teams (Life, Disability, W/C, CI, GL, LTD) to show them the DigitalOwl solution in action.

Urbanico

Name of the founders:

Yuval Shafrir and Yoni Levi.

What is your product?

Urbanico is building an urban intelligence platform, providing insurance carriers with hyper-localized urban data, adding contextual risk factors on top of the common rating schemas, currently used by the industry. Urbanico’s engine automatically analyzes billions of different urban data points, distills their fundamental building blocks and models their intrinsic relationships, building a coherent representation of the urban landscape that reveals its fundamental risks and opportunities, in a whole new level of granularity. Urbanico’s platform brings best-in-class data, plugged into the insurance value chain as contextual risk factors, that are based on external indicators, improving common actuarial models and helping insurers to refine risk selection and underwrite risks faster, with superior accuracy.

What problem are you trying to solve?

The insurance industry has always maintained a value chain that significantly relied on data. While insurance carriers are utilizing big data on scale for decades, their technological barriers withhold them from many external data sources that are critical in order to assess, select and underwrite risk properly, especially in the highly competitive environment we are seeing these days. Urbanico is bringing new contextual data sources that revolutionize the way the industry is looking, estimating and mitigating risk.

What is the current status of your business?

Urbanico’s 1st risk factor – uCrime is up and running and we are starting PoCs with some of the largest carriers in the US. Urbanico’s coherent urban data representation that is distilled into unified risk factors, is built under a plug-and-play API first integration practice, designed to seamlessly connect into carrier’s standard procedures of work. In addition, we are heavily working on additional risk factors, dealing with fire, infrastructural, flood, water leakage and many other highly important perils for the book of business of any insurance carrier out there.

What are your goals from the ITC convention?

Our main goal is to expose our value proposition to the US insurance community and help US carriers to go the extra mile in their risk engineering processes and build better, more personalized insurance products. We are obviously very excited meeting some of the top industry leaders that will take part in the conference, exchange ideas and learn from their experience and insights.

What is one other thing you’d want your readers to know about you that will make you stand out?

Urbanico’s platform is built with carriers in mind, making sure that we are bringing a revolutionary solution that’s at least 10x better than what’s currently available in the market. Eventually, we end up building a solution that brings 150X improvement from a spatial standpoint as well as daily update frequency instead of annual update frequency, and we are just getting started.
