Innovation and technology are the next frontiers in insurance. As many insurers have set out on a journey of smart insurance it has expanded their reach into more ecosystems than ever before.

The service monitors the car through a vehicle tracking device and provides relevant diagnostics data of the car driving performance. The data derived not only helps in insurance claims but also aims at safer driving and lowered fuel costs.

The Global wearable fitness tracker (Fitbit) market was valued at $17,807 million in 2017 and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 19.2% by 2023 to value at $62,124 million.
