About

Jean Paul Collet is a leading researcher in neonatal care, whose work bridges occupational therapy and innovative technology to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes for preterm infants. His primary research areas focus on reducing procedural pain in hospitalized newborns and optimizing early neurodevelopment through non-pharmacological interventions. Collet’s most notable contribution is the development and pilot testing of *Calmer*, a robot designed to alleviate pain in preterm infants during medical procedures. His landmark 2019 study, cited 48 times, demonstrated that this robotic intervention can significantly reduce pain responses, offering a groundbreaking alternative to traditional methods. By addressing the adverse long-term effects of repeated procedural pain on neurodevelopment, Collet’s work has profound implications for neonatal intensive care practices. His research not only highlights the potential of human-robot interaction in clinical settings but also underscores the importance of early occupational therapy interventions. Through his innovative approach, Collet has positioned himself at the forefront of neonatal pain management, inspiring further exploration into technology-driven solutions for vulnerable populations. His contributions continue to shape how clinicians and researchers approach infant care, emphasizing both immediate comfort and long-term developmental health.
