About

Dr. Riya Karmakar is a leading voice in advanced gastrointestinal diagnostics, with her work centered on the evolution and future of capsule endoscopy (CE). Her major contribution lies in synthesizing the technological trajectory of CE—from its inception in 2000 to its current state—and charting its transformative potential for non-invasive, patient-centered care. In her highly cited 2025 paper, "Capsule Endoscopy: Current Trends, Technological Advancements, and Future Perspectives in Gastrointestinal Diagnostics," which has already garnered 10 citations, Dr. Karmakar provides a comprehensive analysis of how diminutive, ingestible capsules equipped with high-resolution cameras and LED lighting are revolutionizing the observation of the digestive tract. Her work not only documents the state of the art but also critically examines the barriers to wider adoption and the promise of next-generation technologies, such as autonomous navigation and integrated therapeutic capabilities. By bridging engineering innovation with clinical application, Dr. Karmakar’s research serves as an essential roadmap for students and researchers seeking to understand the future of minimally invasive GI diagnostics and the shift toward more accessible, patient-friendly medical technologies.
