Asia Pacific Healthcare & Insurance Startups

Goals

Provide case studies of start-ups in the health care and insurance space in the Asia Pacific region, including data on founding, location, funding, and overall business description and approach (10 healthcare startups and 10 insurance startups) 

Early Findings

 Asia’s insurtech space is noted to be dominated by a few key players, which are owned by dominant large insurance groups or tech groups, but that a few startups have recently entered the space.  

 CareVoice is a health insurance software startup that recently raised $10 million in funding. 

 DocDoc is another startup that offers a network of providers, physicians, and hospitals for patients to search, and is connected with the Asian health insurance network.
