Vinod joins me in a conversation about the growing impact wearable technology has on consumer expectations within the life insurance industry. He shares his insights and findings from a recently published report that found 85% of adults would improve their health and fitness habits for lower monthly life insurance premiums. Vinod talks about the role customer engagement plays and how gamification has become an incentive for consumers to live healthier lifestyles.
