SenseX Biotechnologies Inc. (SenseX) is a Canadian startup that provides real-time insight into your health to enable informed action.
Our mission is simple: to help people live healthier, longer lives through accessible information and early intervention.
We believe health is the foundation of everything. However, to truly “read” our health, we need the right tools—sensors that can detect and understand our body. At SenseX, we’re building biosensors that make the invisible visible to take control of our health.
Our biosensors will detect key biomarkers in blood, urine, or other biofluids to deliver continuous, real-time health data. With this knowledge, we can shift healthcare from reactive to proactive, from late-stage intervention to early detection and prevention.
Health isn’t just about avoiding disease, it’s about performing your best, recovering faster, and feeling your strongest. Biosensors can support day-to-day health decisions in key areas: nutrition, stress, sleep, hydration, and recovery. With the right data, we can fine-tune wellness strategies for long-term vitality.
In addition to early detection, monitoring how a disease responds to treatment is essential. Some conditions have multiple therapeutic options which may not be effective for every patient. Instead of relying on delayed clinical signs or side effects, a biosensor can provide immediate, personalized information on how the body is responding. Therapies can be adjusted earlier, before the disease progresses. Timing is critical—it can be the difference between recovery and relapse.
About the Founders
SenseX was co-founded by Dr. Sandro Spagnolo and Katharina Davoudian, PhD candidate—two scientists with the same dream of helping others be healthy and optimized.
Sandro and Katharina have extensive experience developing biosensors for detecting targets that range from small molecules, viruses, to cells. They have collaborated on detecting bacteria in milk, antibiotics in blood, and cancer biomarkers in blood. Both have backgrounds in analytical chemistry, specifically surface chemistry, antifouling coatings, and biosensors.
