Building Wisedocs’ Legacy in Insurtech

When beginning on his journey, Connor had a mission to transform the claims process and resolve the significant manual backlog in the industry. With an extensive background in health services, information technology, and management consulting from his service under the Department of National Defence, Connor has a profound understanding of the current claims process. Wisedocs was born out of a deeply personal understanding of the gaps in the industry. Having served 12 years in the military, including experience in healthcare administration and firsthand exposure to the struggles of navigating the medical claims system, Connor identified critical inefficiencies. The manual nature of sorting and reviewing medical records led to significant delays in claim resolution, often taking up to 18 months to resolve. This backlog negatively impacts claimants who rely on timely care to recover from injuries and accidents. 

Recognizing the need for change, Wisedocs was developed to streamline this labour-intensive process. By automating the sorting, organizing, and summarization of medical records, Wisedocs reduces the time it takes to resolve claims by up to 70%, significantly improving outcomes for insurers, claimants, and all stakeholders in the process. Connor's exceptional journey, from the military to pioneering healthcare technology, is a true testament to his dedication to improving processes and enhancing the lives of medical evaluators, insurers, legal professionals, and claimants.

This award honours Connor’s commitment to bringing the industry into the digital age, and ensuring care is delivered to all of those in need.

“Being recognized as the Most Outstanding Entrepreneur in Insurtech is an incredible honour and testament to our mission to address critical gaps in the insurtech and claims industry.” says Connor Atchison, Co-Founder & CEO of Wisedocs. “Our commitment to constantly innovate has allowed us to identify and build streamlined, AI-driven solutions in claims processing to bring efficiency, accuracy, and support to insurers and claimants alike.”

Commitment to Streamlining the Claims Process

Under Connor’s leadership, Wisedocs has continued to advance its mission of streamlining claims processing to improve outcomes for the medical, legal, and insurance sectors. This commitment has not only driven Wisedocs to create a robustly configurable AI claims platform but also earned it high praise as a recognized solution and leader. Alongside the recent award win of Most Outstanding Entrepreneur in Insurtech, Wisedocs is also proud to come Highly Commended for the Best Claims Processing Software and Best Cloud-Based Solutions by the Global Insurtech Awards. With these recognitions, Wisedocs demonstrates our ongoing dedication to innovation and the pursuit of excellence in our role to reimagine the claims process. As Wisedocs continues to grow, the organization remains focused on delivering a seamless, efficient, and accurate claims experience across the sector.
