Health Risk Assessment API for Insurers:
From Selfies to Scoring in Seconds

Enhance risk assessment, streamline onboarding, and reduce fraud with real-time vitals

Insurers Face Growing Pressure

Declarative data
isn’t enough

Relying on self-reported data leads to inaccurate risk profiling. There’s no way to verify statements like “I’m healthy for my age.”

Manual
questionnaires

Traditional subscription questionnaires are lengthy and tedious. This slows down the process and adds friction for potential customers.

Detection and
prevention of fraud

Insurers face attempts to trick the systems with fake inputs like photos, videos, deepfakes, masks or other artifacts that mimic a real person.

Inaccurate Risk Assessments Cost More Than Just Time

In today’s crowded wellness and consumer health market, user engagement hinges on accurate insights and perceived value. To stay relevant and retain customers, solutions providers must choose an API that delivers precise vitals, while respecting data privacy.

Higher churn during subscription

Long forms and medical exams cause drop-off. Customers abandon the process before completing subscriptions or renewals.

Limited fraud detection

Fake declarations and manipulated identities—from falsified health inputs to spoofed videos—undermine trust and inflate claims. Without biometric verification, insurers remain vulnerable during digital onboarding.

Missed insights,
misaligned policies

Without objective health insights, you’re stuck offering one-size-fits-all policies instead of tailoring products based on actual risk factors.

Your Questions Answered

How does a vital measurement API improve underwriting accuracy?

Saphere provides insurers with access to key physiological indicators—such as heart rate, respiratory rate, heart rate variability, and hypertension risk—captured through a simple selfie. By adding this objective layer of insight to the underwriting process, insurers can refine risk segmentation, reduce reliance on declarative-only data, and make faster, more accurate decisions without requiring medical exams or lab results.

How does the API contribute to fraud detection and prevention?

Saphere helps insurers validate self-reported health declarations (such as smoking status or stress levels) by cross-referencing them with biometric indicators. Our technology also includes anti-spoofing protections to detect and prevent fraudulent inputs—such as tampered videos or impersonation attempts—during digital onboarding or KYC. This ensures that the person being assessed is real, present, and is providing authentic data.

What measures are in place to ensure data security and compliance?

Saphere was designed with privacy and security at its core. All measurements are performed on-device or in transit with encrypted connections, and no biometric images or videos are stored. Our API is GDPR-compliant and built to support integration into regulated environments.
