UofG students win award for co-designed kidney health innovation
Published: 9 September 2025
A multidisciplinary team of UofG students has won 3rd place at the prestigious international SensUs competition for their innovative, patient-centred approach to kidney health monitoring. Their co-designed concept is called Nephros. Using optical techniques, the prototype offers at-home testing of the levels of biomarkers in blood linked to kidney health, designed to complement existing blood tests and give people the choice of how to integrate this measurement into their care.
