Praedicat Presents:
12 Days of Emerging Risk
2019 has been a year of innovation, growth, and “firsts” for Praedicat and the InsurTech industry. As the year draws to a close, we have compiled together some memorable moments worth remembering that took place in 2019.
If you blinked and missed them the first time around, don’t miss them now!
Day 1:
As we head into the holiday season and visions of sugar plums dance in our heads, remember the risk insight Praedicat delivered on sugar.

Day 2:
Before using CBD products as stocking stuffers or white elephant gifts, take a moment to read the article by Praedicat’s own David Loughran, who discusses the regulatory limbo that CBD-infused food and beverage products are facing.

Day 3:
2019 saw the finale of Game of Thrones, but another GOT emerged. This InsuranceERM article discusses glyphosate, opioids, and talc, while examining how insurers are coping with mass latent BI litigation.

Day 4:
One of Praedicat’s main objectives is to use scientific data to help predict & solve the conundrum of the “next asbestos.” Dr. Reville, Praedicat’s CEO, spoke with AM Best TV about the next mass litigation on sugar and plastics and antibiotics – oh my!

Day 5:
Just like Santa during the holidays, the opioids epidemic has been on everyone’s radar this year. At Praedicat we’re always looking forward to “what’s next,” and candidates for the next opioids sit squarely on our radar.

On the Seventh Day of Emerging Risk Praedicat gave to me: hundreds of drug companies, thousands of drug hypotheses, millions of adverse events, all in ChemMeta. Endocrine Disruptors, transgenerational harms, flame retardants and PFAS all in CoMeta.

Day 8:
As the new year approaches it’s natural to reflect upon new beginnings. Praedicat’s origin story is about making the word cleaner, safer and healthier. One way we do that is by helping people manage the coming large-scale liability risks using AI, anticipatory analytics and innovative modeling, all to help our clients map out what science says is “coming next.”

Reflection is a two-step process. You look at where you’ve been to see where you’re going. The knowns and the unknowns. Praedicat prides itself on getting ahead of the curve for our clients when it comes to harmful Litagions that are known liability risks while offering insights into the unknown risks of tomorrow.
