Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a forthcoming Special Issue titled "Challenges with Diagnostic and Therapeutic Capsule Platforms of the Future" to be published in the Global Clinical Engineering Journal. This Special Issue aims to explore emerging innovations, ongoing challenges, and future directions in the field of diagnostic and therapeutic capsules. As these platforms hold great promise in revolutionizing non-invasive diagnostics, drug delivery, and personalized medicine, it is crucial to address the technical, clinical, and regulatory hurdles they face. We are seeking high-quality submissions, including original research articles, reviews, and case studies, on topics such as:

· Advances in capsule-based technologies for diagnostics and treatment
· Engineering and material challenges in capsule design
· Clinical applications and case studies involving capsule platforms
· Data integration, AI, and sensor technologies in capsule systems
· Regulatory and safety challenges in the adoption of capsule technologies
