The healthcare industry has faced monumental changes over the past two years, with the pandemic affecting both the provision of services and consumer behaviour.

Increased demand and Covid-19 lockdowns led to the acceleration of digital health technology, which in turn is now presenting fresh challenges and opportunities for insurers.

Robin talks to Joan Cuscó, Global Head of Transformation at MAPFRE, and Nicolas Monsarrat, Managing Director, Strategy & Consulting, Digital Health Europe Lead at Accenture, about the digital health landscape in 2022 and what it means for the insurance industry.

Talking points include:

Transitioning to digital - insights from the UK, US, France and Germany
Providing more value from personalised health data
The role of blockchain in building trust
Using digital twins to model and learn
Why ecosystems and partnerships are the way ahead
