                     You Can Now Buy 
Insurance From 
Your Smartphone 
Too!
It is almost impossible to imagine our lives without our 
smartphones. This little device in the palm of your hand can 
be used to book movie tickets, make holiday reservations, 
buy clothes, order food, or even call for a taxi.  You can even 
use your phone to manage your finances – there are many 
apps that help you keep track of your expenses, pay your 
bills, and even buy insurance products. 
Buying insurance is now simpler and smarter
Insurers now offer some of their plans on through their health 
apps. All you need to do is download the app, explore plans, 
fill up a quick form, and pay for your coverage. The process 
of getting coverage through a health app is really that simple. 
Moreover, these health apps generally have very intuitive 
platforms. Even first-time users can sail through the process 
of buying coverage on these apps with ease. Insurers 
understand the need for hassle-free processes in insurance – 
right from buying your plan and paying for it, to raising 
claims. 
 
If you are new to buying insurance on a digital platform, you 
can start off by purchasing microinsurance products. 
Microinsurance plans are bite-sized plans designed to offer 
you affordable coverage at low costs. Examples of 
microinsurance products include plans such as 
dengue insurance cover, breast cancer insurance, 
prostate cancer insurance, and even coverage against 
side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. 
The premiums of these microinsurance plans are quite 
nominal too. Let’s look at an example. A prostate cancer 
insurance plan will cost from S$5 for coverage that lasts 12 
months. This premium has been calculated for a male non-
smoker, aged 20 to 25 years (age next birthday). These 
affordable costs help ensure that insurance products are 
within the reach of more people. No one should have to miss 
out on coverage simply because they cannot afford it. 
 
As we can see, buying insurance now is both convenient and 
affordable. You simply need your smartphone, a few minutes 
at hand, and a stable Internet connection to secure yourself 
financially against the uncertainties of life.   
Having a health app keeps your health at your fingertips
Using a health app can be a great way to stay in touch with 
your health needs. You get access to an AI health assistant 
that guides you in understanding your medical needs. You 
can check symptoms, know your BMI, and stay on track with 
fitness goals too. 
These days health apps also offer you access to telemedicine 
services. You can get a quick video consultation with a 
doctor anytime you feel ill. Imagine a situation in which you 
suddenly feel sick at night – and you don’t even have energy 
to get out of bed. In this case, you can log on to your health 
app and book a quick consultation with a doctor at your 
convenience
 
Go ahead and explore the convenience of buying coverage 
from the palm of your hand. We hope that this article proved
