COVID-19 dashboard launched to help re/insurers tackle virus claims

McKenzie Intelligence Services (MIS), an imagery and geospatial intelligence consultancy firm, has unveiled what it claims to be the first-ever re/insurance industry-specific COVID-19 interactive incident dashboard.

The dashboard has been designed to help claims teams, exposure managers and loss adjustors visually understand the impact of COVID-19. It has been modelled on the geospatial data intelligence and imagery natural catastrophe portal MIS-Intel.

MIS said the COVID-19 dashboard has been developed following initial discussions with Lloyd’s market participants. Early adopters of the dashboard include the Lloyd’s market.

The company has been curating data since the outbreak began in January 2020 on travel restrictions, supply chain disruption, social and economic regulatory change, government advice, cancelled events and the overall spread of the virus resulting in movement restrictions.

The datasets are available to examine in real-time and download, as well as rewind over time to understand the situation from the ground on any day in question or how a situation has evolved.
