Artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Daisee and motivation and rewards platform Perx Health have won this year’s DXC Technology insurtech competition.

Daisee aims to bridge the gap between technical AI and commercial uses in vision and voice, while Perx Health is involved in medication and chronic disease management.

The competition encourages companies with market-ready products or solutions relevant to the insurance industry to demonstrate proofs of concept.

DXC Technology Australia and New Zealand MD Seelan Nayagam says the 31 competition applicants demonstrated the kind of innovation that can be achieved.

“The insurance industry is undergoing a state of transformation, with insurers looking for new and innovative solutions to improve overall customer experience and engagement,” he said.

The competition was held in collaboration with CoVentured, which helps connect corporates and start-ups.
