dacadoo is a global technology company and innovative business partner that is driving the digital transformation in life insurance and healthcare.

Based in Zurich, Switzerland, dacadoo strengthens health and wellbeing through active engagement and artificial intelligence. dacadoo develops and operates a mobile-first digital health engagement platform that helps people live healthier, more active lives through a combination of motivational techniques from behavioral science, online gaming and social networks, as well as artificial intelligence and automated coaching.

The patented, scientifically calculated dacadoo Health Score

Based on more than 200 million person-years of clinical data, its patented, real-time Health Score makes health individually measurable, which provides users with a unique engagement experience, while also offering dacadoo’s enterprise customers an effective way to measure the true health impact of wellness programmes.

With the explosion of health and fitness-related wearable devices and applications in the market, it has never been easier for people to get access to a variety of health and fitness-related data. This also presents a challenge, as no one can handle such a multitude of data and make sense out of it without any support.

Making sense out of a large number of health and wellbeing data is exactly what the dacadoo Health Score does. It simplifies the health status of an individual into just one number, the patented dacadoo Health Score, so that it can be universally understood. Fundamentally, the dacadoo Health Score is based on who you are (body), how you feel (mind) and how you live (lifestyle).

The digital engagement platform for life insurance

For life insurers, dacadoo provides ongoing digital engagement for members from the point of acquisition, creating customers for life, along with dynamic underwriting capabilities.

Policy holder engagement:

  • Win-win – develop healthy, high-value, lifelong clients
  • Rewards, such as reduced premiums, for hitting health goals
  • Cross Sell – conversation opener for other products

Dynamic underwriting:

  • Calculate customer’s health and risk changes in real-time.
  • Target high-risk customers with specific programs to improve their health.
  • Offer premium discounts to customers that improve their Health Score – Pay-As-You-Live pricing model
