What are the models for growth in embedded health insurance? – podcast part 2 Swiss Re 2022-12-15 | In the beginning embedded health insurance was all about sales and distribution – but people pushed back, says Sabine VanderLinden. Embedded health insurance only succeeds as part of an ecosystem. Yannick Even agrees, embedded will not work to push existing products.

"In China the ecosystem approach is everywhere, and adaptation is very fast", states Sebastien Gaudin. He grew his start-up The CareVoice in China and shares his learnings.Read the article: swissre.com/risk-knowledge/advancing-societal-benefits-digitalisation/embedded-health-insurance-video-podcast.htmlFeaturing: Sabine VanderLinden – Managing Partner & CEO Alchemy Crew Sebastien Gaudin – Cofounder and CEO of Health Insurtech The CareVoiceYannick Even – Global Analytic Business Partner Swiss Re
