About us

Welcome to our page! We are the TU/e sensing team (T.E.S.T.) representing the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the 2024 SensUs Competition. This is a yearly international student competition on engineering rapid biosensors. For more information about the SensUs competition, click here. 
In the competition, there are different categories where you can win prices. For example, the team of 2023 has won the creativity award, and the 2022 team has won the award for Distributed Testing Event! 
  
Our multidisciplinary team currently consists of 7 bachelor and master students, from Medical Science and Technology, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science and Applied Physics. We all come from different backgrounds, with our own interests and goals, and we will make sure to be a synergistic team ready to compete and contribute to an improvement of people’s quality of life. 
This competition allows us to put our theoretical knowledge to the test and apply it to real-life societal problems, engineering an efficient, affordable and easy-to-use biosensor with translational potential for the commercial market.  
  
At the end of August 2024, our team will compete with others from all over the world to detect the biomarker creatinine, which is a marker for detecting kidney failure. This is a disease that influences many. Patients suffer from various different symptoms like cramps, extreme tiredness, nausea and confusion. It is important that these patients get the right and best treatment for them, which is why we are eager to work on the development of a continuous biosensor for creatinine.
