Adoption of blockchain/crypto technology will essentially change the way insurance companies operate in the new world we are living in. The advent of biometrics, tokenomics and data fabric will bring about a whole new way of assessing risk and providing insurance services.

Adoption will be driven through secure, accurate, transparent, and auditable features, which will ultimately enhance the experience of interacting with insurance products.

Tip of the Iceberg: Level 0 Insurance on the Blockchain

In today’s complex environment organizations are embarking on Digital Transformation journey.  Compared to existing systems, blockchains are faster, cheaper, more reliable, and much more secure.  For example, in healthcare, patients often have medical history scattered among various medical records maintained in several health-care establishments.  The data is available only in the scope of those specific systems.  Having a Blockchain Medical Profile to store an individual’s medical profile that is accessible from anywhere at the time of need.  This omnipresence of the medical data will be a boon for the field of medical informatics.  

Similarly, in financial institutions, transactions that happens within and among financial institutions can be delivered, provided immediately, shared, and completely transparent stored on an immutable ledger via Blockchain technology.  

The faster the information is received and the more accurate it is, the better.  Blockchain is ideal for delivering that information because it provides immediate, shared and completely transparent information stored on an immutable ledger that can be accessed only by permissioned network members.  Blockchain technology and its infrastructure (hardware, software, and facilities, connectivity, mobility, performance, and security and such can be easily deployed and managed using ITIL best practices.

How Blockchain is building consumer confidence

Join us as we will take a look at innovation of stablecoins, regulations and its future trends. Investments and payments made by cryptocurrencies will continue to accelerate globally. Price volatility both upward and downward trends have drawn financial interest and attention of the regulators. 
To function effectively as a currency alternative, crypto must be liquid, possess relatively low-price volatility, and be integrated with established financial institutions. As such, stablecoins will be a more popular alternative to push blockchain and crypto adoption forward.

Future of stablecoins

Consumer trust in an organisation has never been so critical. In this session we will show the importance of balancing security and usability to increase protections and build & reinforce customer trust from minute 1. The mantra “if it is not usable, it is not secure” should be embraced by every team designing security solutions and “if it is not secure, it won’t build trust” should apply to teams involved in designing their customers’ experience.
Finding that balance is key to making customers feel safe, a safety that builds loyalty and trust, which can become a competitive advantage for any organisation.
