InsurTech, short for Insurance Technology, involves using technological innovations to improve efficiency and reduce costs in the insurance industry. The innovations harnessed in InsurTech typically come from fields such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT (Internet of Things), and blockchain.

InsurTech is premised on the belief that the insurance industry is ripe for innovation and disruption. InsurTech is exploring avenues that large insurance firms have less incentive to exploit, such as offering ultra-customized policies, social insurance, and using new streams of data from Internet-enabled devices to dynamically price premiums according to observed behaviour.

How does InsurTech Work
