This chart indicates that while those discussing wearables in insurance are still mostly expected to be industry insiders, experts, or analysts, they are almost always doing so in a positive and optimistic way. This suggests there is still a buzz around the theme and that industry insiders are positive about what is to come in the years ahead.
