Biography

Dr. Gordon Jewett is an Assistant Professor, Neuromuscular Neurologist and early-career researcher at the University of Calgary, and Director, University of Calgary Neuromuscular and EMG Fellowship and Education Program.

 

Dr. Jewett’s clinical focus is neuromuscular disease and electromyography, with a particular interest in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His research focus builds on his background in software engineering to develop digital biomarkers in ALS and other neuromuscular diseases under 3 broad themes: digital tools for early diagnosis of ALS, digital clinical outcome assessments to monitor ALS and other neuromuscular diseases, and digital tools to optimize clinical care of people with ALS and other neuromuscular diseases.

 

Dr. Jewett studied software engineering before completing his medical school at the University of Calgary, where he also completed his adult neurology residency in 2021. He completed a 2-year neuromuscular and EMG fellowship at the University of Calgary combined with a MSc focused on development of novel digital biomarkers in ALS based on wearable sensors and machine learning.
