Perceptiviti, an Abu Dhabi-based deep technology company that was established in 2017, is leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to strengthen the UAE’s healthcare insurance landscape. The introduction of AI in insurance technology is leading to a transformation in the industry’s approach. Instead of merely detecting and fixing issues after they occur, AI is enabling insurers to predict and prevent potential problems. This shift is revolutionizing every aspect of the insurance sector.

AI plays a crucial role in Insurance Technology by bolstering customer trust, a key factor considering that 42% individuals still harbor doubts about their insurers. Therefore, it is imperative for insurers to prioritise trust-building with their customers.

Additionally, the notable rise in annual medical insurance premiums in the UAE, which increased by approximately 33%this year compared to 2022, can be attributed to an upswing in claims.

Consequently, this advancement not only enhances the accessibility and effectiveness of healthcare but also contributes to increased affordability.
