Bruce H. Dobkin is an American professor of neurology and an editor-in-chief of the Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair journal who is working at David Geffen School of Medicine, a department of UCLA.[1]

Biography

Dobkin went to Hamilton College and then Temple University School of Medicine after which he completed residency at the University of California Los Angeles in a neurology field. Currently he serves on a board of directors at the American Society of Neurorehabilitation and is a fellow of the American Neurological Association. He is also a chairman of the Neural Repair and Rehabilitation section at the American Academy of Neurology and is a managing director of the World Federation of NeuroRehabilitation. Besides those honourable positions, he considered to be a Distinguished Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and gave over a 100 lectures worldwide.[1]

Publications

In 1986 he wrote a novel on doctoring called Brain Matters: Stories of a Neurologist and His Patients which was published by Crown Publishing Group and in 2003 Oxford University Press released his The Clinical Science of Neurologic Rehabilitation book. He was also an author of numerous chapters including Neurology in Clinical Practice and Stroke: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management.[1] Besides chapters and books, he also wrote many peer-reviewed articles which were published in various journals including New England Journal of Medicine, Neurology, Journal of Neurophysiology,[2] Journal of Neurosurgery and many others.[3]

Presentations

In 2011 he gave a speech on development and testing of wireless sensors at the Wireless Health during which he demanded them to be made for wider usage. During his speech he mentioned that both the Wireless Health Institute and Medical Daily Activity Wireless Network are using wireless technology and gave a projection rate of the outcome if such technology will be implemented in every-day medical use and clinical trials. He also mentioned that last year there were 23 million people that were a part of last years trials, and that there are 700 more to go.[4]

One of the key problems we face in conducting clinical trials is that we do not know much about daily patients with chronic diseases: we go into trials without knowing what their baseline of activities is. It is difficult to recruit and retain people in trials, and it is difficult to monitor compliance with instructions. Similarly, we are unable to have direct measurements about important outcomes, especially daily activities; if we had these measurements, we may be able to obtain more sensitive measures of outcomes in real world settings.
