Abstract

The rapid evolution of nanotechnology and digital platforms is reshaping the landscape of healthcare insurance systems. This study explores the convergence of these transformative technologies and their potential to revolutionize healthcare insurance by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing user experiences. A thorough literature review outlines existing applications of nanotechnology in healthcare and the growing role of digital platforms in insurance systems. Theoretical frameworks highlight the mechanisms of their intersection, with empirical evidence presented through three tables, three graphs, and a diagram. Key findings reveal that integrating nanotechnology and digital platforms can streamline claims processing, enhance preventive healthcare, and personalize insurance coverage, albeit with challenges related to data privacy, regulatory frameworks, and cost. The paper concludes by addressing the implications for policy and practice while suggesting future research directions to optimize this technological synergy.
