Its website, SelfieQuote.com, estimates a person's age, body mass index and gender based on selfies and generates an indicative quote. Customers then provide more precise answers to receive accurate quotes, and can apply for a life insurance policy online in just a few minutes.The programme, which is in beta, was created with the aid of facial analytics technology from Legal & General America.
