Medical AI startup Infermedica launches new Insurtech platform

Infermedica, a Poland and US-based company, has released a white-labeled symptom checker and triage platform after successful pilots with European healthcare insurance companies Allianz Partners, Dovera, and PZU. Infermedica uses artificial intelligence technology which has the potential to significantly improve quality of care, both from a provider and patient perspective. The application advises patients on what to do next when they feel unwell. After asking a series of diagnostic questions, Infermedica's AI suggests possible conditions and suitable actions to take. Infermedica estimates that typically up to 26% of patient cases are self-treatable, and a symptom checker can be used to prevent unnecessary visits by instead providing self-care or teleconsultations.
