HydroGuard is built by three students at TUM. We are heading to the COSIMA final at electronica in Munich on 12 and 13 November 2026, and we would like to name the people who helped us get there.
Our sponsor
JLCPCB sponsors our second prototype.
JLCPCB is supporting the manufacturing and assembly of our second prototype. The first one we ordered and paid for there ourselves: the boards came back exactly as drawn and both assembled units worked, including the fine-pitch part at the centre of the measurement.

Your name and logo on the stand and on the poster we present at electronica, on this website, and in the build notes for anything you helped us build.
What helps most is not always money. Components, PCB manufacturing, assembly, enclosure work, measurement equipment on loan and time from an engineer who knows the part we are wrestling with have all moved this project forward.
What we are working on.
The first prototype measures bioimpedance at the upper arm and has been tested on the bench and on a person. The second one shrinks that to roughly 30 × 21 mm so it can be worn all day. Both are documented in the build notes, including the parts that did not work first time.
Separate from our sponsors
Supporters of the COSIMA competition.
HydroGuard is our entry for COSIMA 2026, the VDE student competition for microsystems. The organisations below fund and support the competition itself, not HydroGuard. Through COSIMA we received a start budget of 200 € for the project.
