Market Insights and Analysis
AI-Driven Convergence of Insurance and Healthcare
Recent domestic and international trends show that the insurance industry is doubling down on building preventive healthcare ecosystems using AI and digital health technology. The success of Kyobo Life's open innovation and Tomato System's growth reflect this momentum. Meanwhile, global examples—like Roche’s certified algorithm library and the organizational shifts at large insurers—suggest that the marriage of insurance and healthcare is moving beyond simple product development toward total operational efficiency.
The "40% non-follow-up rate" identified in the fatty liver patient data underscores the need for insurers to build patient tracking and automated reminder systems through digital healthcare platforms. This signals a fundamental shift in the insurance value chain: moving away from simple compensation toward a model focused on prevention, management, and healing.
