Role of AI in Enhancing Health Insurance Penetration in Rural India

Despite significant advancements in healthcare infrastructure, rural India faces challenges in obtaining and using health insurance services. Limited accessibility, financial constraints, and lack of information are major barriers to health insurance penetration. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can personalize health insurance offers, adjust them to rural communities' unique needs, and optimize pricing models for affordability. Machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics can be used to personalize insurance, while chatbots and virtual assistants can raise awareness and streamline enrollment processes. This study examines the impact of AI on expanding health insurance coverage in rural areas, considering the evolving healthcare landscape in India. AI can make insurance more accessible, affordable, and tailored to rural populations. It can also contribute to more precise risk assessment and better claims processing. The integration of mobile technology and digital platforms is crucial for bridging the digital gap and ensuring universal accessibility.
