Jon Sabes, CEO of YouSurance, Presented at Plug and Play Event about Insurtech and Health Data
October 18 2018 - 4:20PM
YouSurance, an insurtech company working to apply epigenetic
signatures to assess life insurance applicants’ health and
lifespan, announced that its chief executive officer, Jon Sabes,
presented at the event about health data and insurance sponsored by
Plug and Play in Sunnyvale, CA on Thursday, Oct. 18.
Sabes was part of a daylong program called “Insurtech: Life,
Health and Group Benefits – Making Sense of Health Data” for the
corporate partners of Plug and Play, an accelerator and venture
fund based in Silicon Valley.
“We are excited to be telling our story about the role that the
step-change epigenetic technology can play in life insurance and
health assessment to a Silicon Valley audience,” Sabes said. “In
partnership with our sister company, Life Epigenetics, we are
gaining access to epigenetic signatures that can revolutionize how
consumers plan for their financial future.”
At YouSurance.com, consumers can purchase life insurance from a
number of carriers. Consumers purchasing life insurance
through YouSurance will receive a Longevity Report that provides an
assessment of their epigenetic age, or biological age, which can
differ from their chronological age.
The technology behind YouSurance is based on epigenetics, which,
unlike genetics, change over time and modify gene expression due to
extrinsic factors such as age, behavior and environment. The
company is the first to apply lifespan-predictive technology,
exclusively licensed from the University of California, Los Angeles
(UCLA), to the life insurance industry.
