CompScience launches workers’ comp product
CompScience Insurance Services announced a managing general agent agreement with Nationwide and Swiss Re to underwrite, bind and service workers’ compensation policies.
CompScience, which was founded in 2019, originally as Kinetic Eye, offers video analytics to help improve worksite safety. Its solution detects previously unreported workplace risks by analyzing existing workplace videos “with an ever-expanding library of proprietary computer vision models built to detect 50+ behavioral and environmental hazards.”
The new MGA agreement is now in affect and CompScience is accepting submissions in ten states. The continued national rollout is anticipated later in the year.

“Both Nationwide and Swiss Re recognize that insurance products are ripe for innovation and we are ready to go to market now that we’ve proven the impact of our approach. We work tirelessly to eliminate workplace hazards and accidents so that everyone can go home safely each day.” – Jacob Geyer, chief insurance officer, CompScience.
“We’re delighted to be part of a project that helps make workplaces safer and reduces the financial cost of insurance protection.
