Ottawa Hospital plans new precision medicine centre following life saving cardiac discovery

The Ottawa Hospital plans to build the Caivan Centre For Precision Medicine to expand personalized treatments across Canada, the Ottawa Business Journal reported. The announcement follows a successful targeted intervention for patient Jacinthe Bisson, whose life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia went undetected during standard emergency room evaluations. Researchers at Ottawa sent her home with a continuous, wearable cardiac monitor that tracked her physiological patterns during daily routines. [1]

According to the Ottawa Business Journal, the continuous monitoring captured Bisson's dangerous irregularity and prompted an immediate defibrillator implant. The new facility aims to use anonymized physiological data to deliver targeted, real-time discovery and care for patients experiencing complex health conditions. [1]

Personalized health measures are advancing in other regions as well. As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, the FDA cleared a PTSD therapy developed by Wave Neuroscience and Texas A and M Health Institute of Biosciences and Tech. That treatment utilizes personalized brain mapping and magnetic stimulation, achieving a 68 percent remission rate in a clinical trial. [2][3]
