About

Joy Collins is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of bioengineering and medical robotics, with key contributions in gastrointestinal drug delivery and patient-care automation. Her most notable work, the 2024 study on "Cephalopod-inspired jetting devices for gastrointestinal drug delivery," has garnered 52 citations and introduces a revolutionary approach to administering biomacromolecule therapies. By mimicking the jetting mechanics of cephalopods, Collins developed an ingestible robotic device that eliminates the need for traditional needles, addressing critical challenges such as training requirements, sharps management, and disposal. This innovation holds transformative potential for treating conditions requiring precise, non-invasive drug delivery within the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, Collins’ 2021 study on "Assessment of the Acceptability and Feasibility of Using Mobile Robotic Systems for Patient Evaluation" (20 citations) provided foundational insights into the adoption of robotics in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluating both patient acceptance and economic viability. Her work bridges cutting-edge bioinspiration with practical clinical applications, positioning her as a leading voice in the future of ingestible robotics and automated patient care. Collins’ research not only advances medical technology but also prioritizes patient comfort and accessibility.
