• Online insurance comparison and purchase

Detailed Explanation

InsurTech, or insurance technology, allows consumers to compare and purchase insurance policies online. This process involves using digital platforms where users can view various insurance options side by side, checking prices, coverage details, and terms without needing to speak to an insurance agent. The convenience of online comparison means consumers can make informed decisions quickly and tailor their insurance selections to fit their specific needs.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine you are shopping for a new phone. Instead of going to multiple stores and speaking to various salespeople, you can use a website to compare prices, features, and reviews of different phones in one place. Similarly, with InsurTech, instead of meeting insurance agents, you can explore multiple insurance policies online and choose the best one that fits your requirements.

AI for Claim Verification

• AI for claim verification

Detailed Explanation

AI technology is now being used in the insurance industry to streamline the claims verification process. When a claim is submitted, AI algorithms can quickly assess the claim's validity by analyzing data from various sources, including historical claims, policy details, and even social media. This helps insurers make faster decisions on claims, reducing the time it takes for customers to receive payouts and enhancing the overall efficiency of the claims process.

Examples & Analogies

Think of AI in claim verification as a smart assistant who can process documents and information at lightning speed. If you're trying to get a refund for a product you returned, it can take time to sort through receipts and tracking numbers. But with AI, similar to having a super-efficient assistant, all the necessary details are analyzed quickly, making the refund process faster and more accessible.
