Presentation
 
Join us for our first event of 2026 where we will be joined by Dr Debbie Smith, Chief Medical Officer and Febby Mulewa, Head of UW & Claims Portfolio at Swiss Re. 
 
GLP-1 therapies have dominated conversations in health, insurance, and risk management—but this isn’t just another GLP-1 talk. Join us for a deep dive into the questions that matter now: 
Forecasting the future: How will GLP-1 reshape claims and underwriting across our product range? 
Weight loss without lifestyle change: What does that mean for long-term risk? 
Cover dilemmas:  From under disclosure to binge users , what’s the impact on risk and experience? 
Surprising use cases: Beyond diabetes and obesity—what else is emerging? 
Imagine a world beyond just BMI? Exploring smarter metrics for risk. 
 
This session will challenge assumptions, uncover hidden trends, and explore how we can adapt to a rapidly evolving landscape.
