- Ada Health’s AI health assessment and care navigation technology is integrated into Groupe Mutuel’s app. It helps members better understand their symptoms and care needs and directs them to relevant care options 24/7.
- Ada incorporates users’ Groupe Mutuel insurance plans when making care recommendations, enabling personalized care journeys that include the most appropriate support and services.
- The announcement continues Ada’s strong growth in the insurer and payer segment following the recent renewal of its partnership with French health insurance aggregator Santéclair.
BERLIN and MARTIGNY, Switzerland, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ada Health, the leading global AI health assessment and care navigation platform, and Groupe Mutuel, the comprehensive insurer, have launched a partnership to support quicker and easier access to affordable, effective care for up to 1.4 million Groupe Mutuel members across Switzerland.
Through this partnership, Ada’s clinically validated AI helps Groupe Mutuel offer tailored healthcare experiences for their members. For these members, Ada’s on-demand, trustworthy health assessments support them by navigating them to a wide array of services, 24/7. Facilitating quick, round-the-clock access to clinically appropriate services across Groupe Mutuel’s extensive care and partner network can improve time-to-treatment and potentially reduce unnecessary primary care visits.
Following an assessment, members will receive a recommendation for appropriate care options included in their policy and a referral voucher for reimbursement. Ada assessments are integrated into a member’s Groupe Mutuel single sign-on and are available in Italian, French, German, and English.
Since taking effect, Ada has already demonstrably improved member confidence, with a 59% reduction in members who are unsure of what care they should seek for their concerns. Members are also able to access guidance and services through Ada 24/7, with more than half of members utilizing Ada outside of normal clinical hours.
In addition to supporting members in understanding their health and navigating to care, Ada also helps highlight existing or unknown risk factors, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, informing potential prevention campaigns to improve long-term member well-being.
Nicholas Altebrando, Chief Product Officer at Ada, said: “At Ada, we believe that AI can help care-seekers everywhere access the right care at the right time. Partnering with insurance services enables us to provide tailored care pathways for members, helping us achieve this vision. We’re pleased to be extending our partnership with Groupe Mutuel to navigate its members to the right treatment and provide access to tailored, affordable, and efficient care for individuals across the Swiss healthcare system.”
Nicolas Höfler, Head of Digital Services & Ecosystems at Groupe Mutuel said: “By integrating Ada’s AI, Groupe Mutuel is the first health insurer in Switzerland to take an innovative and forward-looking approach to healthcare. It does not replace a doctor, but offers our members immediate and reliable assistance by orienting them to next steps.
“Offering a high level of diagnostic accuracy, Ada contributes to Groupe Mutuel’s aim of relieving the burden on the healthcare system by avoiding unnecessary visits to the doctor or guiding to more suitable services for their personal needs. Minor cases, which in the past caused overloads, can now be handled more specifically and efficiently – an advantage for members and the entire healthcare system.”
Groupe Mutuel users with questions about their symptoms can conduct a free AI-powered Ada health assessment directly through the Groupe Mutuel app. Based on their responses, Ada then provides users with tailored next steps based on their needs and personal insurance plan.
Ada assessments are available for any Groupe Mutuel member in Switzerland via the Groupe Mutuel app. For more information, visit www.groupemutuel.ch/en/private-customers/our-services/ada.html

HTX Ventures: Fueling Exchanges’ Transformation into Hubs for DeFi-related Services through Education and Diversification, Empowering investors to Manage Risks and Liquidity in a Volatile Market
SINGAPORE, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Ventures, the global investment division of HTX, shared insightful perspectives on the transforming crypto investment landscape. Edward, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, explored how crypto exchanges are transforming to meet investor needs, manage risks in volatile markets, and capitalize on emerging trends.
Empowering Private Investors Through Diversification and Education
The panel first focused on how exchanges are empowering private investors to adapt to evolving market conditions by providing diversified asset offerings and extensive educational resources. Edward emphasized that technological advancements, such as blockchain innovations and new assets like BRC-20 tokens and Solana-based assets, are creating unprecedented opportunities for portfolio diversification.
Edward also highlighted that HTX Ventures is offering early access to new and promising projects, allowing private investors to participate in growth opportunities from the ground up. “Exchanges aren’t just trading platforms anymore,” he said. “We’re becoming strategic partners to investors by offering a wide range of assets, providing detailed market research, and ensuring they can make informed decisions.”
Edward commented that HTX Ventures prioritizes investor education, particularly in areas like risk management, platform security, and compliance. He pointed out common investor mistakes, such as neglecting security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA) or failing for phishing scams. HTX Ventures addresses these pitfalls by providing comprehensive educational resources, tutorials, and responsive customer support.
Managing Risks and Liquidity in a Volatile Market
Managing risk in a volatile crypto market was another key point of discussion. Edward mentioned that liquidity is paramount for both large and small investors, particularly during periods of heightened market volatility. Exchanges like HTX manage liquidity by maintaining deep order books, employing algorithmic trading, and utilizing price stability mechanisms, ensuring that trades can be executed smoothly across different market conditions.
“Maintaining liquidity is paramount in this space,” Edward explained. “For smaller investors, the risks are often higher when dealing with less liquid assets. That’s why we provide tools like stop-loss orders, portfolio tracking, and algorithmic risk management to help mitigate these risks and protect them during market swings.”
The panel also discussed how exchanges are educating smaller investors on understanding market depth and liquidity management, which promotes informed decision-making in a highly volatile environment. Such initiatives are crucial as the crypto market continues to attract a broader range of participants, many of whom are new to the space.
The Future Role of Exchanges in a Decentralized Era
Looking ahead, the role of exchanges in the era of Web 3.0 and decentralized finance (DeFi) was a key talking point. Edward outlined HTX’s vision of integrating decentralized elements into their platform, advancing beyond traditional trade execution to becoming comprehensive hubs for DeFi-related services.
“Exchanges are evolving into multi-functional platforms offering everything from lending and liquidity mining to tokenized asset trading,” Edward said. He predicted that as the Web 3.0 landscape develops, exchanges will serve as essential gateways for private investors to access decentralized ecosystems, allowing them to participate in services like decentralized identity verification, data privacy protection, and direct access to DeFi protocols.
Edward further emphasized that regulatory compliance will remain a core focus, especially as more private investors seek safe, regulated environments for their crypto activities. By continually enhancing compliance processes – such as robust KYC and AML measures – while expanding DeFi capabilities, HTX aims to build a secure, transparent, and innovative ecosystem for private investors, positioning itself at the forefront of the next phase in the crypto revolution.
Edward shared his thoughts during a high-profile panel discussion at Blockchain Life Dubai, titled “Crypto Exchanges and Private Investors: Shaping Investment Strategies and Adapting to Market Trends” along with other top industry leaders.

AI Revolution in FP&A is Set to Offer One of the Most Impactful Transformations in Finance
LONDON, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICit Business Intelligence, a leading Workday Adaptive Planning Solution Provider, has today released new research showing that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will reshape the future of Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), empowering finance professionals to become more trusted, strategic partners to their organisations. According to the latest ICit-commissioned report: Harnessing AI for enhanced Financial Planning & Analysis, FP&A teams are already experiencing substantial financial and time-saving benefits by utilising AI.
AI’s potential for savings and efficiency gains is transforming the role of teams
The independent study*, conducted with 300 UK FP&A professionals, revealed that 85% of organisations are already using AI-powered FP&A software. Two thirds (66%) of finance professionals reported that AI is set to save between 50 and 200 hours of work annually, enabling them to focus on more value-added activities like strategic planning. From a cost saving point of view, these same companies are seeing financial savings of £50,000–£100,000 annually due to AI-powered FP&A software.
According to ICit’s Director, Mark Bodger, “AI’s ability to streamline complex data processes and deliver real-time insights allows finance teams to step into more strategic roles, enabling them to focus on strategic decision-making rather than manual tasks.”
AI is Elevating FP&A Teams into Strategic Leaders
As AI increasingly becomes a standard in financial operations, finance teams are evolving beyond their traditional roles of managing budgets and forecasts. With AI’s ability to analyse vast datasets and predict future trends, FP&A professionals are moving closer to the heart of business strategy, offering critical guidance to senior leadership. ICit’s report highlighted the importance of AI in helping finance teams become strategic advisors, with 59% of respondents to the study noting that AI enhances financial decision-making through more accurate forecasts and real-time scenario analysis. AI adoption is also boosting trust in finance teams, with 67% of finance professionals citing AI’s critical role in providing senior executives with reliable, data-driven insights.
Bodger continued: “AI is enabling faster, more precise forecasting and insights, allowing finance teams to make better decisions and drive business success.”
AI as a Driver of Trust and Competitiveness
The ICit study also showed that AI is becoming essential for finance teams looking to build greater trust with their C-suite executives. Over two-thirds (67%) of finance professionals believe AI will play a pivotal role in establishing confidence in their insights and decisions. As AI evolves, finance teams will be able to quickly adapt to market changes, reducing errors and providing more accurate financial forecasts.
Tim Wakeford, Vice President, Financial Product Strategy, Workday commented: “From tackling manual work to responding to economic instability, the challenges finance professionals face are diverse and growing. In the AI-era, a lack of agility will see slow movers quickly fall behind. The main barrier to achieving this, however, is trust – which is why finance leaders need to seize the opportunity and take action. Leaders must also advocate for AI, cultivate a responsible culture and showcase how it overcomes the daily challenges finance teams face. This isn’t always easy – it may call for tough choices on budgets, or receive initial push back from other leaders. However, with the right steps, a more productive, strategic and high-performing finance department is in reach.”
Mark Bodger concluded: “There is no doubt that AI is giving companies a competitive edge and our latest research indicates that organisations adopting AI in FP&A are outperforming their peers in operational efficiency, cost management, and strategic execution. As a result, these companies are better positioned to navigate financial uncertainty and seize new opportunities.”
*The findings presented in this report are based on a study of 300 UK financial decision-makers, commissioned by ICit. The survey focused on AI/ML adoption in FP&A software between 9th-14th August, 2024.
About ICit Business Intelligence:
ICit is a leading provider of managed services and FP&A software solutions, specialising in Workday Adaptive Planning. We help finance teams leverage advanced technologies like AI and ML to drive performance, improve decision-making, and enhance strategic leadership.

NEW DELHI, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a world where financial systems are showing cracks—from limited access to exclusionary practices—a quiet revolution is brewing. Web3, with its promise of decentralization, offers more than just technological change; it offers a philosophical shift. But with opportunity comes complexity.
The rise of DeFi has unlocked new possibilities, yet many individuals and businesses struggle to navigate this evolving landscape securely and confidently.
Enter Triskel Wallet, a groundbreaking platform redefining financial tools. The Web3 superapp bridges traditional finance and the Web3 ecosystem, offering unprecedented asset control while ensuring security and compliance.
Beyond Traditional Finance
With just a few taps on a smartphone, investors can access prime real estate opportunities across the globe. No paperwork, no brokers, no hassle.
That’s the power of asset tokenization, and it’s just one of the ways Triskel is democratizing finance. As founder, Abel Benitez, explains, “Imagine owning a piece of global real estate without the paperwork, brokers, or middlemen—just a few clicks away on your phone.”
What was once exclusive to institutional investors, high-net-worth families, and patrimonial wealth is now accessible to everyday users. Triskel opens financial opportunities that were previously reserved for the few, democratizing access to investments and wealth-building tools through its innovative platform.
Your Keys Your Kingdom
Redefining Asset Control At its core, Triskel is a non-custodial wallet. This means users retain exclusive control of their private keys, eliminating the need for bank intermediaries. Users maintain complete autonomy over their assets as sole owners of their wealth.
Abel Benitez, the visionary behind Triskel, puts it perfectly: “Finance isn’t just about profit; it’s about freedom—freedom to control, build, and participate in wealth creation without borders or intermediaries.” This freedom to grow wealth and access previously unattainable opportunities defines true financial autonomy.
Security and Innovation Combined
Regarding security, Triskel has implemented robust measures. Advanced security protocols and regulatory compliance allow safe exploration of the DeFi world while keeping both individuals and businesses protected from legal pitfalls. The platform’s hybrid model offers the best of both worlds, enabling seamless management of both crypto and fiat assets.
Triskel emphasizes the importance of a collaborative economy, reflecting its commitment to shared value creation. As part of this effort, the platform has introduced the Real Referral Program (RRP), offering participants up to 50% of revenue. This initiative not only rewards community engagement but also aligns with Triskel’s vision of building an inclusive financial ecosystem where users benefit from collective growth.
The Future of Finance
As the lines between traditional and decentralized finance continue to blur, platforms like Triskel Wallet are leading the way. By offering security, compliance, and user control, Triskel ensures that individuals and businesses can confidently navigate both realms.
“We’re not just building a platform,” Benitez reflects. “We’re building the future. A future where trust, control, and opportunity are in the hands of everyone.”
About Triskel
Triskel Wallet is a decentralized, non-custodial super app that provides users with complete control over crypto assets. The platform bridges the gap between DeFi and traditional finance with USDT-backed Debit card.
