Digital health is here to stay – if that wasn’t already obvious at the beginning of 2020, COVID 19 has made us all painfully aware of this. Most health insurers have already invested substantially in a variety of digital health technologies over the last 10 years and are now aggressively adding to and improving their digital offerings. And Life Insurers also recognize that “It is imperative that you have a customer engagement strategy, and that engagement will be based on your customer’s health – you are now in the health business.”


Digital health has largely evolved organically – I’ll call this digital health 1.0. Insurers reacted to customer needs by developing or partnering with vendors to deliver a variety of technologies and apps to their members with the goal of providing more cost-efficient operations such as the diagnosis and treatment of many types of illnesses. During COVID the demand for telehealth has skyrocketed, leaving no doubt that digital is more than important – it is now considered essential.
