In an increasingly complex and individualised world of healthcare, the demand for personalised solutions in health insurance is growing. The introduction of customised offers not only has the potential to increase customer satisfaction but also to optimise the entire customer journey. In this blog post, I explore how these individualised approaches are changing the interaction between insurance companies and policyholders and what impact they could have on the future of healthcare.

The Cucumber Framework is a powerful open-source tool that is used as part of Behaviour Driven Development. By using a common language, it enables collaboration between non-technical and technical team members. This blog post provides an overview of the basic concepts and features of the Cucumber Framework.

Sustainability is crucial for the long-term success of companies. ESG factors have become a key evaluation criterion for companies and investors. In my blog post, I show why taking ESG factors into account is not only ethically but also financially relevant. A holistic ESG approach not only promotes the growth and stability of companies but also has a positive impact on society.

Large Language Models (LLMs), above all ChatGPT, have taken all areas of computer science by storm over the past year. As they are trained on a broad database, LLMs are fundamentally application-agnostic. Despite their extensive knowledge, however, they have gaps, particularly in highly specialised applications, which in the worst case can only appear to be compensated for by hallucinations. To reduce this risk, "Retrieval Augmented Generation" (RAG) has been established.

The degree of digitalisation in facultative business is still significantly lower than in other areas of the company, even among the largest reinsurers. The reason lies in the nature of the business: it works with few, highly individualised contracts - but business processes that work with a high degree of standardisation and large volumes are best digitised. With the latest advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the tide is turning: new solutions can be a game changer to increase the efficiency and quality of facultative underwriting and make data available for other applications.

When searching for relevant sources for editorial work, specialised knowledge databases are indispensable. But even in this rich pool, the search is often laborious. The solution? Concise summaries of each entry that enable a quick assessment of relevance. In our blog post, we present proven concepts for the mass generation of machine-generated summaries with Aleph Alpha Luminous and report on a realised customer project.

Workflow orchestration and workflow engines are crucial components in modern data processing and software development, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies make it possible to efficiently manage and coordinate various tasks and processes within complex data pipelines. In this blog post, we present Prefect, an intuitive tool for orchestrating workflows in AI development.

Linux is an indispensable tool in the world of software development. In my blog post, I show the importance of Linux in software development. I go into the Linux file system, the differences to Windows, and basic commands such as cd, mkdir, and rm and give an overview of authorisations.

The digital transformation is fundamentally changing the energy sector. New technologies are not only optimising processes and business models but are also reshaping interaction with customers and enabling the development of sustainable energy sources. By using IT solutions, companies can increase their efficiency, improve customer service and make a contribution to climate protection. This blog post presents specific examples and applications that demonstrate the potential in the areas of digital utilities, customer centricity, platform transformation and new energy.
