Project objective

Identify emerging digital health technologies that could be applied to the insurance industry, their clients and adjacent markets.

This project reviewed the rapidly evolving space of digital health technologies available and emerging within the next five to ten years. It captured the trends within this space which can enable better prevention, early intervention, monitor recovery and understand the quality of the delivered service. It also examined the barriers and facilitators which have allowed for the rapid adoption of these solutions in recent times, including the hardware and frameworks which enable the delivery of such technologies.
