The three most dangerous critical illnesses in 2022 were malignant tumors, acute myocardial infarction, and conditions resulting from stroke. Customer needs are shifting from passive post-incident claims to pre-medical services and active health management. As the population ages, claims services need digital upgrading to provide elderly-friendly services.
