Interview: Jaakko Olkkonen, Wellmo: The future of insurance – Preventative health services and wearables

Savvy insurers - big players like Generali, Germany's second largest primary insurance group, and Vitality in the UK, are moving into preventative health services – suggesting there's money to be saved here. Experts seem to agree within five years, wearable devices feeding information back to health insurance companies may become the norm rather than the exception – and insurers who don't change they way they operate could soon be left behind. One such expert is Jaakko Olkkonen, managing director of Finland-based mobile platform software company Wellmo. Olkkonen admits he has a vested interest in promoting wearable devices and apps which record key health information – like user activity, sleep patterns and heart rate – and feeding it back to insurers. He runs a digital platform designed to facilitate it, after all. But he says his predictions are accurate nonetheless.

eHealth – changing the role of the insurer – and nudging the insured to get healthy

The health insurance industry faces revolutionary change. eHealth is moving healthcare down the acuity curve, personalising treatment and bringing a new generation of wellness treatments online through mHealth apps. This, in turn, creates data, data that insurers are eager to get their hands on. They increasingly are, by creating their own bespoke apps or partnering with aggregators or popular wellness apps. But, adapting their business models to the data-driven economy, is moving insurers from a passive to an active role in people’s health, and raising tensions with consumer interests.
