## Article Content
Jim Carroll delivered a keynote address to clinical staff and nursing leadership at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in Ottawa, Ontario in May 2012, exploring the accelerating wave of technology that was transforming cardiovascular medicine and healthcare delivery more broadly. The University of Ottawa Heart Institute is one of Canada’s premier cardiovascular research and treatment centres, and Carroll spoke to an audience of nurses, clinicians, and health professionals on the front lines of patient care. His presentation explored how bioconnectivity — the integration of real-time monitoring, wearable sensors, mobile health devices, and predictive analytics — was building toward a future of truly preventative cardiovascular care, where warning signs were detected long before a clinical event occurred. The session was subsequently covered by the Ottawa Citizen, which described Carroll’s message to the Heart Institute as a compelling vision of “health care’s best bet: technology.”
