Airlines & Commercial Aerospace Outlook: What’s Different And Why It Matters
Recorded on 12/20/22
After experiencing the biggest decline in history, global air traffic is still well below pre-pandemic levels. While U.S. traffic is back, non-U.S. traffic has a long way to go to return to pre-pandemic levels. Add to that tight capacity, changed post-pandemic behaviors, and aircraft replacement demand factors, we see a strong case for better-than-appreciated airline revenue growth and a longer-than-typical commercial aerospace recovery. This episode features Helane Becker, Cowen senior research analyst for airlines, air freight, and aircraft leasing, and Cai Von Rumohr, Cowen senior analyst for aerospace, defense electronics & government services. Cowen’s Thematic Outlook Podcast Series focuses on emerging growth and disruptive innovation and is hosted by Bill Bird, Cowen's Head of Thematic Content.

Delivering Precision Medicare With HealthIQ’s Mujal Shah
Recorded on 11/16/22
In this episode, we discuss the role health data and how empowering patients with their own health information can enable better decisions, in this case selecting the best Medicare Advantage plans to improve their health outcomes. In 2022, more than 28M people enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, and that number has been growing 8% every year since 2010. But how effective is the industry at placing patients into the plan that best suits their personal needs? To help explore this and more, we’re joined by Munjal Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Health IQ, which aims to help seniors live more years in good health. And this starts by using a senior’s detailed health records to find the precise MA plan, from over 3,000 plans, that is most personalized to their needs and will best support their health in the coming years, in what the company calls Precision Medicare.
