The IFoA is seeking to appoint both members and suitably experienced non-members to join the Insurtech in Chronic Disease Management Working Party. This is a great opportunity to connect with peers across the profession and contribute to research on how the industry is moving from reactive models to proactive, continuous care.
Chronic diseases drive most healthcare costs worldwide, with costs projected to rise significantly as populations age. Yet today’s health and life insurance models remain largely reactive – typically responding only after complications arise, often through disconnected care approaches.
This gap presents a critical inefficiency – and a chance to redefine care. Emerging insurtech solutions show how proactive, connected care could transform outcomes:

The working party is now looking for contributors (members or non-members) with experience or interest in health/life insurance, digital health innovation, or AI/data science to help us develop these themes, including:
IFoA members and professionals from related fields with experience in:
The time commitment varies but is about 2 hours per month, including a monthly meeting (currently the second Tuesday of each month, held online) and some independent research or review.
