Health Insurance:

Wearable devices such as fitness bands such as FitBit are helping people, especially elderly, to track their health details constantly. This information can further help doctors treating the patients requiring immediate medical attention. Insurance companies, at the same time, can reduce their claims by offering incentives to their policyholders to use these kinds of devices.

Home Insurance:

Sensors, Detectors connected via the internet could send early signals of smoke/radiations to the rescue services, helping in minimizing the damages. Information derived from inter-connected smart devices at home can also be utilized by insurance companies to determine the safety maintained at home. In the first place, smart devices used to keep an eye on their home while they are away. This would decrease the unfortunate incidences of theft or burglary and save people from losing their precious assets as well. Eventually, it would also bring down the claims raised by households.

Auto Insurance:

Telematics like monitoring automobile speed, the behavior of a rash driver could assist in making a clear judgment of claim policies for individuals and insurance firm.

Hence while IoTs and interconnected network could be a boom in offering policies, these minuscule are taking insurance services to the next step.A huge amount of data generated by the IoT devices can be used for predictions, understanding of the market, customers etc, that will help in distributions the policies in a very effective manner as well as a great customer satisfactions.
