About
Dr. Jenna-Marie Gaston is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare delivery and robotics, with a primary focus on collaborative automation in nursing. Her work critically examines how "cobots" can be designed to augment, rather than replace, human caregivers, allowing nurses to dedicate more time to high-value, compassionate patient care. Her most influential paper, a 2024 systematic review titled "A systematic review of collaborative robots for nurses," has already garnered 31 citations, establishing a foundational evidence base for the field. This seminal work maps the current state of cobot implementation in nursing, identifying critical gaps between technological promise and clinical reality. Dr. Gaston’s research is notable for its pragmatic, human-centered approach, challenging the narrative of full automation and instead advocating for symbiotic human-robot teams. By synthesizing fragmented evidence, she provides a crucial roadmap for future innovation, ensuring that technological investments genuinely enhance nursing practice and patient outcomes. Her contributions are shaping how healthcare institutions worldwide evaluate and adopt robotic platforms.
