May 21, 2021: -After the healthcare joint an Amazon formed venture, Berkshire Hathaway, and the biggest U.S. bank by assets was disbanded earlier this year, the companies vowed to push forward in their attempts to lower costs improve outcomes for their employees. On Thursday, JPMorgan announced it is about to launch Morgan Health to improvise the quality of medical care for the bank’s 165,000 employees and their families from the U.S. The business is run by Dan Mendelson, a healthcare consultant who served in the Clinton administration and will be based in Washington.
The new unit will have $250 million to make venture investments in companies with “promising healthcare solutions,” the firm said.
“We have the healthcare in the world in terms of doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies, but we do not have the best outcomes,” CEO Jamie Dimon said.
The American healthcare system has proven to be a difficult nut to crack: It’s a complicated network of entrenched players that include insurers, drug makers, physicians, and intermediaries that cost the country $3.8 trillion in the year 2019, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Haven, the joint venture folded in January, had little to show concrete results in its three-year yeats.
The bank, which spends $1.3 billion annually on healthcare for its employees, will seek to improve the way primary care is delivered and enhance the ability of patients to navigate their care, Mendelson said on Wednesday on a call. He will also focus on preventative care in maternal health, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
The new business struck a collaborative tone than its predecessor; in its release, the bank included a statement from the CEO of CVS Health, one of the healthcare companies whose stock was punished when Haven first made headlines in 2018.
“Everything we do, we expect to be doing in partnership with other organizations,” Mendelson said. “We’re not looking to build tools and technologies from scratch, but rather to deploy the best in healthcare to work for us.”
Like its predecessor, Morgan Health isn’t being run to generate a profit, according to Peter Scher, the bank’s vice chairman who has ultimate oversight of the effort.
That makes it somewhat unique as a business within JPMorgan, a powerhouse in retail and Wall Street banking activities. Instead of being included in one of JPMorgan’s four main revenue-generating divisions, Morgan Health’s results will be reported under the bank’s corporate reporting line.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
