Techopedia Explains Insuretech

Insuretech is also a segment of “fintech” or financial technology. Most professionals would define insuretech as instances where insurance companies use technology in some way. Some further clarify that many insuretech instances are user-centric – that is, they facilitate better functionality for end users, whether that is putting information where it is needed, making applications and contracts more transparent, or making insurance processes easier to work through overall.
