SensUs | Let's compete for quality of life!

This year's edition

SensUs 2026

Experience the ultimate showcase of biosensing innovations at the SensUs Event during the Innovations days 24th - 28th of August! Witness student teams from around the world compete in designing, building, and testing biosensors for the continuous monitoring of levodopa for Parkinson's disease. Join us for a day of networking, knowledge sharing, and gathering new insights in the field of biosensing! The theme of SensUs 2026 is Parkinson's disease. The prevalence of Parkinson's disease among the global population is projected to double over the next few decades. Symptoms including irregular sleep patterns, slowness of movement, tremors, depression, and anxiety. Levodopa has remained the benchmark treatment for Parkinson's disease since the drug's introduction around 1970. As Parkinson's disease progresses, the therapeutic window for levodopa narrows. SensUs 2026 aims to track levodopa fluctuations to personalize patient treatment and make a step towards closed-loop levodopa therapy!

SensUs Wiki

For students, by students

An international Competition

SensUs is a yearly international Student Competition on sensors for health. By involving students, industry, and health partners we strive to accelerate the development of sensors for better healthcare.

During SensUs 2026, students from all over the world compete to make biosensors for continuous monitoring of levodopa for Parkinson's disease. The biosensors will be judged on multiple criteria such as creativity and industrialization potential. This will be done by representatives of academia, industry, and healthcare.

High Schools Competition 2026

This year, SensUs challenges high school students to develop an innovative biosensor concept for levodopa monitoring for Parkinson's disease. The students will engage in an elaborate assignment that provides valuable insights into technology and biosensing. Additionally, they will visit the Eindhoven University of Technology for a head-start on their project, to conduct real experiments in the university's laboratories, and to present their final biosensor concepts in front of a professional jury. The winner of the High Schools Competition is invited to showcase their novel design at the annual SensUs Event, next to more than 150 students who participate in the international Student Competition!
