Top three insurtech trends to look out for: Crawford

The risk and insurance industry is on "the cusp of significant technological change", and there are three broad trends to watch out for in the insurtech space. Roberto McQuattie, regional head of Latin America at Crawford & Company, outlined the trends in this "rapidly expanding" space. First is the use of drone technology. According to McQuattie, the technology is being used to great effect by colleagues handling claims after hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. "Drones are being used in both pre- and post-loss scenarios and provide efficient and accurate handling of claims," he added.
