2. How IoT is Revolutionizing the Insurance Sector: Use Cases and Benefits • Traditional businesses are projected to be disrupted and revolutionized at an unprecedented rate as the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges. These new technologies have the potential to benefit the insurance business, which has been hesitant to adapt in the past.  • Before we get into how the Internet of Things will affect insurance, let’s define what we mean by “IoT” in this context. In a nutshell, IoT refers to the internet-connected connection of physical items or devices known as “Things” with sensors, software, apps, servers, and other devices. It allows data to flow between devices and sensors, and it allows devices to interact, collaborate, and learn from one other’s experiences in the same way that humans do.  • Some Important Use Cases of IoT in Insurance • Smart Homes: • Moisture sensors or thermal cameras could detect mold in a wall and warn of the possibility of a water pipe leakage before the damage becomes too extensive, turning a minor maintenance task into a large claim to repair the damage, host customers during the maintenance period, and pay for damaged goods.  • Smart underwriting:  • In the past, insurance brokers had to collect and rely on data provided by applicants. The underwriting process has grown more efficient and speedier since the introduction of IoT apps in the insurance industry. Insurers can establish a better and more precise client portfolio, analyze risks in advance, reduce losses, and improve policyholder interactions. 

3. How IoT is Revolutionizing the Insurance Sector: Use Cases and Benefits Commercial Insurers:  Commercial insurers use IoT devices, apps, and sensors integrated in industrial units to create a dynamic rating model that allows them to offer risk-based pricing to their customers. IoT apps that provide real-time data help insurers control risk and reduce losses dramatically.  IoT apps are linking the globe in ways it has never been connected before. The use of IoT apps has increased dramatically in the healthcare, insurance, and automobile industries. IoT apps’ ability to detect, analyze, and assess real-time data via IoT sensors and devices is assisting the insurance industry tremendously in providing better insurance services. Overall, more specialized consumer data, such as sensory data from IoT devices, can assist organizations, particularly insurance firms, in gaining a better understanding of their clients and potentially providing better services.
