Bermuda-based reinsurer PartnerRe has launched a wearable technology pilot project in partnership with digital health platform dacadoo.

The pilot will enable PartnerRe to gather real-time health and wellness data in order to provide its life and health clients with actionable insights into leveraging wearables to more accurately underwrite risks and better engage with their customers.
