Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of health insurance system technology, specifically to an automatic health insurance quotation system based on big data. Background Technology

[0002] Health insurance, short for health insurance, refers to insurance provided by insurance companies to cover losses caused by health reasons through methods such as disease insurance, medical insurance, disability income loss insurance, and long-term care insurance. It is regulated by the "Administrative Measures for Health Insurance." Types of health insurance include disease insurance, long-term care insurance, and medical insurance (including reimbursement-type medical insurance and fixed-benefit medical insurance).

[0003] Despite this, with the aging population and rapid urbanization, the disease spectrum is undergoing profound changes, leading to a rapid increase in personalized and diversified health needs among the public. Regrettably, while there is a huge demand from the public for health insurance and health management services covering medical care, illness, nursing care, and disability, the development of commercial health insurance is relatively lagging. Developing differentiated health insurance products tailored to the diverse needs of various groups is an urgent priority for the development of health insurance. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on new technologies to generate differentiated, rapid, and rational health insurance products for different groups with varying needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide an automatic health insurance quotation system based on big data, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a health insurance automatic quotation system based on big data, comprising: a big data platform, which is connected to a data acquisition interface via an API interface; a data analysis and modeling module connected to the big data platform; a rules engine connected to the big data platform; and a user interface on the big data platform for customers or agents to input information, view quotations, and complete the purchase process. The data analysis and modeling module includes actuarial models and machine learning algorithm libraries for risk assessment and pricing. The rules engine stores and executes business rules, compliance requirements, and underwriting policies for insurance products. The API interface exchanges data with external systems such as hospitals, medical examination centers, wearable devices, and third-party data providers.

[0006] Furthermore, the big data platform is responsible for storing, managing, and processing massive amounts of data, using the Hadoop and Spark technology stack.

[0007] Furthermore, the big data platform collects and integrates data from API interfaces, including user health data, lifestyle data, social data, historical claims records, and economic capacity data.

[0008] Furthermore, the data analysis and modeling module utilizes big data technology to clean, deduplicatize, and standardize the collected unstructured and structured data; it employs machine learning and actuarial statistical models to analyze the data in order to assess the client's individual health risks and potential future medical expenses.

[0009] Furthermore, the rules engine generates personalized insurance rates in real time based on the risk assessment results, combined with the insurance company's product rules and preset profit targets, to achieve dynamic pricing and automatic quotation.

[0010] Furthermore, the big data platform has a data source and a collection layer, which are responsible for collecting data from various internal and external sources. Internal data includes the insurance company's existing CRM system, claims database, and policy management system; external data includes medical and health data such as hospital electronic medical record system (EHR) API and physical examination center data interface; and data from wearable devices, public data, and third-party data.

[0011] Furthermore, the big data platform includes a core data storage and processing platform, which comprises a data lake / warehouse: using Hadoop HDFS or Amazon S3 to store raw and semi-structured data; using a data warehouse to store cleaned structured data; and a data processing engine: using Apache Spark or Apache Flink for batch processing and real-time stream processing.

[0012] Furthermore, the big data platform includes a data analysis and modeling layer, which comprises: data cleaning and preprocessing (standardization, deduplication, missing value handling, feature engineering); actuarial and statistical modeling (traditional actuarial models used to establish basic risk benchmarks); machine learning models (risk assessment model using classification algorithms to predict the probability of a customer's illness); medical expense prediction model using regression algorithms to predict possible future medical expenses); personalized pricing model (dynamically adjusting premiums based on risk scores); and fraud detection model (analyzing data patterns to identify potential fraudulent activities).

[0013] Furthermore, the big data platform includes an application service and interaction layer, comprising user interfaces and interfaces for interaction with the system: API Gateway: providing secure API interfaces for front-end applications and external partners to call; Front-end Applications: Customer Portal: allowing customers to fill in information online, obtain quotes, and purchase insurance; Agent Workstation: enabling agents to assist customers in generating quotes and tracking the application process; Underwriter / Actuary Dashboard: monitoring model performance and viewing risk analysis reports; Workflow Automation: automating underwriting and quote approval processes to reduce manual intervention.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] This invention enables personalized pricing: it allows for more reasonable rate pricing based on individual health conditions, rather than relying on traditional large-group average data.

[0016] Efficiency improvements: Automated processes significantly reduce underwriting and quotation times, enhancing the customer experience.

[0017] Precision Marketing: By deeply analyzing customer data, we help insurance companies accurately reach potential customers and improve conversion rates.

[0018] Risk control: More accurate risk assessment helps insurance companies better manage risk exposure and improve profitability. Attached Figure Description
