Using images and voice recordings to facilitate underwriting life insurance

A system and method for evaluating an insurance applicant as part of an underwriting process to determine one or more appropriate terms of life or other insurance coverage, such as premiums. A processing element employing a neural network is trained to correlate aspects of appearance and/or voice with personal and/or health-related characteristic. A database of images and/or voice recordings of individuals with known personal and/or health-related characteristics is provided for this purpose. The processing element is then provided with an image and/or voice recording of the insurance applicant. The image may be an otherwise non-diagnostic image, such as an ordinary “selfie.” The trained processing element analyzes the image of the insurance applicant, with their permission or affirmative consent, to determine the personal and/or health-related characteristic for the insurance applicant, and then, based upon that analysis, facilitates the underwriting process and/or suggests the one or more appropriate terms of insurance coverage.

Provided is a vehicle headlight device including: a first light irradiator that irradiates light from a light source at a first magnification m1 in a form of a first radiation pattern in which a bright region and a dark region are alternately repeated; and a second light irradiator that irradiates light from a light source at a second magnification in a form of a second radiation pattern in which an entire region is a bright region. In the vehicle headlight device, directivity of the light radiated from the first light irradiator overlaps with directivity of the light radiated from the second light irradiator, and the first magnification m1 is smaller than the second magnification. Thus, it is possible to prevent or reduce failure to notice a pedestrian by a driver even under adverse conditions such as nighttime and rainy weather.
