Etisense

Etisense is a French biomedical engineering company based in Lyon that develops and commercialises physiological monitoring instruments for laboratory animals. The company originated from research at the TIMC-IMAG laboratory at Grenoble-Alpes University, where a multidisciplinary team specialising in physiology and signal processing laid the scientific groundwork. Etisense was founded on the belief that monitoring should be simple, non-invasive, and aligned with the requirements of ethical and modern research. The company's flagship offering is DECRO, an external telemetry solution designed to overcome the challenges of in vivo studies in rodents, marmosets, dogs, and minipigs. DECRO is built around a wearable telemetry jacket that enables continuous ECG and respiratory function monitoring in conscious, socially housed animals. The jacket combines textile engineering, high-performance sensors and electronics, signal processing algorithms, and software built on modern web technologies. Beyond the jacket and hardware, Etisense provides a specialised software suite with advanced analyzer modules that automate the transition from raw signals into validated results. DECRO is offered in modular system configurations — Start, Advanced, and Nano — to suit different study sizes and levels of functionality. Start and Advanced models offer fully local operations with pre-installed software, while the Nano provides a lightweight, budget-friendly configuration for secure, cloud-based data analysis and collaborative workflows. A typical DECRO solution includes a telemetry acquisition system, one or more telemetry emitters with rechargeable batteries, electronic accessories, preinstalled LASA software, and DECRO jackets and accessories purchased separately. Etisense also offers a special rental offer. Etisense serves research applications including phenotyping of disease models, pharmacology and safety-toxicology, monitoring of vital functions, education and training, and veterinary use. The company provides comprehensive services such as installation and training, data analysis, scientific and experimental consultancy, technical support, and maintenance and warranties. Its mission is to revolutionise physiological monitoring through innovative connected textiles, extending the technology from animal and preclinical research to veterinary medicine and ultimately human health and well-being.

Etisense is a French biomedical engineering company based in Lyon. It was originally born from research at the TIMC-IMAG laboratory at Grenoble-Alpes University, where a multidisciplinary team of scientists specialising in physiology and signal processing laid the groundwork. The company was founded on the core belief that monitoring should be simple, non-invasive, and tailored to the requirements of ethical and modern research. Since day one, Etisense has been pushing the boundaries of physiological monitoring. This ongoing commitment to improvement has resulted in product ranges that seamlessly integrate cutting-edge textile engineering, high-performance sensors and electronics, sophisticated signal processing algorithms, and intuitive software built on the latest web technologies. The company developed DECRO, an external telemetry solution specifically designed to overcome the challenges of in vivo studies in rodents, marmosets, dogs, and minipigs. This wearable jacket enables continuous ECG and respiratory function monitoring in conscious, socially housed animals, providing a solution that is easy to implement and perfectly aligned with both rigorous scientific standards and ethical expectations. Etisense has expanded its DECRO platform with modular system configurations — Start, Advanced, and Nano — and a range of software analyzer modules. The company also introduced a next-generation telemetry jacket for dogs, combining high-fidelity ECG and respiratory recording with maximum comfort, featuring innovative, pre-positioned 3D electrodes that make physiological monitoring more reliable and efficient without the need for shaving. Etisense offers a special rental offer and comprehensive services including installation and training, data analysis, scientific and experimental consultancy, technical support, and maintenance and warranties. Looking ahead, Etisense aims to extend the reach of its connected textile technology across a broad spectrum of applications, from animal and preclinical research to veterinary medicine and ultimately human health and well-being.
