ACKO purchases Parentlane digital platform
Indian general insurer ACKO has purchased digital health platform Parentlane, with plans to improve patient access to healthcare
The acquisition will be used to provide personalised content and services alongside ACKO’s core insurance offerings, with the aim of improving healthcare choices and communication.
Parentlane is a Bengaluru-based tech platform that provides healthcare solutions to new parents throughout the early stages of childhood development, in partnership with healthcare providers.
ACKO provides a range of insurance products, including health and travel insurance. In addition to supporting products such as these, ACKO CEO and founder Varun Dua stated that: Parentlane will ‘play a significant role in helping us provide comprehensive healthcare service to our customers and expand beyond the core insurance offerings by partnering with the healthcare ecosystem’.
AXA Global Healthcare also launched a new digital text- and voice-based assistant, called Remi, in February 2023.
