Wearable Telemetry for Non-Clinical Research
Improve animal welfare and the scientific precision of monitoring and collecting physiological data from laboratory animals through a connected jacket.
ETISENSE is a French biomedical engineering company focused on developing innovative solutions for physiological monitoring. Our journey started with a clear vision: collecting physiological signals in preclinical research should be non-invasive, easy to implement, and aligned with both scientific standards and ethical expectations.
DECRO, our flagship solution, is an external telemetry solution specifically designed to meet the challenges of in vivo studies. This wearable telemetric jacket enables continuous monitoring of in conscious, unrestrained animals ensuring fast, reliable, and consistent physiological data to support various applications.
Monitored Physiological Parameters
Cardiac Activity (ECG)
DECRO records high-quality electrocardiogram (ECG) signals without the need for implant surgery, directly from the animal’s skin, allowing for heart rate measurement as well as the analysis of ECG waves and intervals.
Respiratory Endpoints
Equipped with embedded inductive plethysmography sensors, DECRO accurately captures respiratory parameters, enabling detailed evaluation of pulmonary function, including measurements of respiratory rate and tidal volume.
Activity Index
Thanks to its integrated triaxial accelerometer, DECRO quantifies the intensity of spontaneous movement and activity levels, providing valuable insights into animal behavior and energy expenditure.

Who We Are
Etisense was founded in Lyon in 2018 as a spin-off from academic research at the TIMC Lab, Grenoble Alpes University. Our mission is to support preclinical researchers with intuitive and ethical solutions that make physiological monitoring easier, more accurate, and better aligned with animal welfare principles.
Behind every component of our solutions is a passionate team, driven by innovation and ambition, dedicated to delivering simple yet powerful tools for in vivo research.
What We Offer
We develop and manufacture non-invasive monitoring systems for preclinical research. Our leading solution, DECRO, captures accurate ECG, respiratory, and activity data from freely moving animals — without surgery or restraint. Adaptable to various species, from rats to pigs, DECRO supports studies in toxicology, safety pharmacology, disease model, education, and veterinary applications.
What We Stand For
At Etisense, we’re committed to responsible science. Guided by the 3Rs — Replace, Reduce, Refine — we promote animal welfare while delivering high-quality data. All our products are designed and made in France, blending technical excellence with ethical values. As members of EARA and GIRCOR, and as signatories of the Transparency Charter, we stand for open, compassionate research.
