Waterlily Uses AI To Predict Long-term Care

Lily Vittayarukskul's startup Waterlily uses AI to estimate individual probabilities, timing, and costs of long-term care, launched in 2021 and informed by CMS datasets. The tool helps advisors compare long-term care insurance, life insurance riders, annuities, and self-funding, and has won Best in Show and Advisor’s Choice at XYPN Live while raising nearly $10 million in venture funding. This enables advisors to create more precise, personalized retirement and care funding plans for clients.
