Sensors for Health 2026

Swansea University delivers world-class medical, bioengineering and biosciences research and offers dedicated opportunities for business incubation and technology transfer.

Sensors that are used to gather data about the body or its surrounding environment permeate our lives in many ways. Whether in biosciences, medical diagnosis and monitoring, sports, physical activity or broader manufacturing sectors, sensors are becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives. As technology advances, more innovative applications for sensor devices in humans are becoming realised.

Our vision is to encourage collaboration, innovation and advancements in health technologies through better multidisciplinary research partnerships.

This symposium is aimed at academic and industry stakeholders, with a focus on;

1.Sensor development,

2. Testing or translation within (a) human health, (b) biomedical, (c) therapeutics, (d) sporting,(e) manufacturing sectors and other areas aligned to life sciences.

This event is a cross-Faculty Interdisciplinary Research Institute event to explore the strengths of health related sensor development and translation, further enhancing industrial and academic collaboration and promoting support mechanisms to increase grant capture success.
