Best Cases of the Hub

Allianz and AirDoctor

The Israeli-based start-up AirDoctor has a global network of local doctors in over 60 countries. Using the healthcare app, travellers can quickly and easily make an appointment locally and do not have to pay in advance thanks to direct billing. Allianz became aware of the start-up in 2020 via the InsurTech Hub innovation programme and now offers the solution to its customers as an integrated service.

Fusionbase and Nürnberger Versicherung

The start-up Fusionbase offers access to over 1,000 external data sets, which it produces for automotive manufacturers and insurers for evaluation. Nürnberger Versicherung became aware of Fusionbase via the InsureTech Hub’s innovation programme while searching for a solution for accessing external data for claims management. As a result of having extensive access to the data, Nürnberger Versicherung can now better calculate risks and develop new insurance solutions on this basis.

Instahelp and LV 1871

LV 1871, which specialises in providing innovative occupational disability insurance cover, is committed to a preventive approach to mental health – with the help of the Austrian start-up Instahelp. LV 1871 customers are supported by experienced psychologists through Instahelp. The consultation is available via a video or audio call as well as via a chat function and can also be used in the evenings and at weekends.
