FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. —

When listening to futurist Jim Carroll speak, one thing becomes apparent quickly: The future belongs to those who are fast.

Onstage Monday
delivering the keynote
at the Benefits Selling
Expo inside Great Hall 3,
Carroll delivered a rapid-
fire, deeply insightful
“fast future” presentation
on where the future of
health care and benefits
is headed. And to hear
him tell it, it is bright for
those who would embrace
the impact of mobile
technology and how the
Internet of Things (IOT)
will reshape the entire
process of health care a
lot sooner than later.

For starters, Carroll
explained, 10 years from
now, health care will
look nothing like it does
today. A fundamental
transformation, he
explained, is on its way,
and in many cases, already
happening. Genetic testing
and DNA sequencing will
forever alter the manner in
which illness is forecasted,
diagnosed and treated: in
advance of the condition
arising rather than after
the fact, the way medical
professionals do now.
Years ago, he said, having
a hand-held device that
monitors vital signs, takes
your blood pressure, and
reads your EKG was the
stuff of science fiction.
Today, it is a reality,
courtesy of the Scanadu
Scout (a tool now being
tested by more than 7,000
people in more than 70
countries), and that tech
will only become less
expensive as time goes on.
It’s not farfetched, Carroll
