TOWARDS THE NEXT NORMAL: ARE WE RIPE FOR DISRUPTION?
The global health insurance industry is going through a wide and deep transformation, being changed and reshaped by advancements in technology, intense competition, changing customer expectations, rising healthcare costs, a shift to value-based models, and other new trends. There's more: health insurers are not immune to the widespread and multifaceted impact that COVID-19 is having on many aspects of life worldwide.

Advanced data analytics and automation have long become real-world applications, as health insurers are taking tangible steps to fundamentally change the ways health risks are managed and underwritten. A vast array of digital technologies facilitates the way health insurers connect with consumers and drive business growth. But at a time when transformation is already viewed as business-as-usual, the global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted strategies and new business processes for most, if not all, players in the industry. The flip side of the coin: may it well prove to be the catalyst that drives the next wave of innovation?
