Dr. Rob Nolan

Director, Cardiac eHealth

Dr. Nolan is a Clinical Psychologist and Director of the Behavioural Cardiology Research Unit at the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada. He received his MA in Psychology from the New School for Social Research in New York, and his PhD from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship on cardiovascular reactivity to stress with the Departments of Psychology and Cardiology at the Ottawa Hospital (General Site), in Ottawa, Canada.

 

Dr. Nolan has been at the University Health Network in Toronto since 1999. He holds appointments as Senior Scientist at the Toronto General Research Institute, and as Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Institute of Medical Sciences at the University of Toronto.

 

His clinical research includes cognitive-behavioural influences on heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity with the use of biofeedback. More recently, his research has concentrated on an evidence-based protocol of automated digital counselling to promote health, quality of life, and social support for individuals at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease, or who are diagnosed with chronic heart failure, hypertension, or chronic kidney disease.
