SensUs Competition
Building biosensors that make a difference on the international stage.
The SensUs Competition
The SensUs student competition is an international contest during which university student teams go head-to-head to determine who has the best biosensor and the best business plan. Every year, the theme of the project changes, and the SensUs organization chooses a new biomarker associated with a specific disease. We then have one year to prepare for the “Innovation Days” in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
During this week in Eindhoven, our biosensor is tested, and we pitch to different juries who evaluate our business plan and creativity.
Ongoing Project — 2026
The current iteration of the SensUs project focuses on continuous levodopa monitoring for Parkinson’s disease, with the goal of improving treatment precision and patients’ quality of life. Our 2026 competition team is exploring different approaches to develop a practical and reliable solution.
In parallel, they are working closely with clinicians and speaking with patients to better understand their challenges and how such a sensor could support their daily lives.
