A prototype of peer to peer Parametric Insurance

A peer-to-peer platform that facilitates the sale of parametric insurance contracts between its users. There are two types of users – Buyers and Sellers. The buyers are the users seeking insurance and the sellers are one offering the insurance. Currently, the platform has two types of contracts – Weather contracts and Price contracts

The problem

Currently, farmers can choose from fixed insurance that does not exactly meet their needs. The idea of this platform is to allow every farmer to make an insurance claim by entering which territory is insured and exactly for what parameters and values (too warm, too humid, drought, etc.).

Challenges

Displaying detailed information from a history of 10 years ago about selected metrics (humidity, temperature, prices, etc.) visually understandable. After all, we use the JavaScript library with a lot of tweaks to it.

Results

An online platform that allows farmers to make insurance claims by entering: which land they insure against, what they insure for (temperature does not fall below certain degrees, temperature does not exceed certain degrees, average humidity is below/above a certain value for time interval) as well as what amount they would like to receive if the adverse conditions listed. Then the insurers have the opportunity to offer for what amount they can conclude an insurance contract. As a final step, the farmer selects an offer and concludes a contract with the insurer (which is recorded in the blockchain).

The client uses this prototype in a series of presentations with governments in Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Belgium. Having a strong interest in Georgia and Armenia in using this platform.

Techologies: HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, Bootstrap, MySQL, Laravel 5.6 framework (PHP 7.1).
