We are the winning team for AIA Blockchain Challenge 2016. Teams of highly experienced developers who are keen to explore blockchain applications converged in Hong Kong to develop the following categories
Claims process
The claims process can be time-consuming for both customers and the insurer. Distributed ledger technology can help automate the claims process in managing workflow (smart contracts) and steamline data collection and verification across multiple parties.
Customer Information and Regulation
In order to build relationships with clients, insurance companies require individuals and companies to submit documentation that verifies the identity of the parties. Distributed ledgers can help facilitate digital exchange, authentication of documents, secure transmissions of contracts.
Risk Management & Treasury Efficiency
Whenever a transaction occurs, insurers have to take on an AML process. This includes screenings across international entities and often external institutions. The distributed ledger can act as a common secure platform for information storage and transfer across internal and external users.
Digital Health
Insurance products are often linked to lifestyles and significant moments in people’s lives. This information is becoming increasingly accessible in the age medical record storage and wearables. A central platform could consolidate real time alerts triggered by specific events and customer information to create integrated patient journeys.
