Beazley launches an insurance product cover for virtual health providers in Asia
Beazley has launched an insurance product in Asia that covers risks associated with technology-enabled healthcare and wellness services. While already a rapidly growing area within healthcare globally, the impact of COVID-19 has served to accelerate the uptake of digital health services, according to the insurer. From remote medical consultations through to the use of apps and wearable technology to monitor conditions, the number of telehealth users across Asia rose sharply in early 2020, making it an attractive sector to new entrants and investors.
