The insurance industry consists of companies that offer risk management in the form of insurance contracts. One of the places for disruption with its slow claims process, and over-reliance on manual work, this sector uses analytics for all sorts of insurance products, such as life, property and casualty, healthcare, unemployment, and many more. As life insurance companies focus on legacy planning and replacing human capital value, health insurers cover medical costs, and property, casualty, or accident insurance is aimed at replacing the value of homes, cars, or valuables. Insurance companies can be structured either as a traditional stock company with outside investors, or mutual companies where policyholders are the owners.
