Thus, SmartNanotubes provides a very compact, energy efficient and cost-effective platform technology for the use in various odor-related applications. 

 Preserving French know-how

Yesitis was a French start-up specializing in the digital transformation of companies, offering connected solutions to support them. While preserving the jobs of the 23 employees who made up the Yesitis design office, Linxens is giving new impetus to its projects and adding new digital expertise. 

Employees hired by Linxens remain based at their Clermont-Ferrand premises. 

"Linxens and Yesitis are long-standing partners, and I'm certain that the integration of our teams will enable us to carry out a number of projects already identified, while contributing to Linxens' transformation," 

explains Laurent Coussonnet, CEO and co-founder of Yesitis. 

An ambitious project to open up new market opportunities 

For Linxens, this is an opportunity to expand its business in the field of connected objects, offering customers complete solutions including the design and manufacture of the technological solution, as well as the development and integration of the program directly into the solution. 

The management of these new activities has been entrusted to Quentin Pretet, previously in charge of Group Strategy and Purchasing, who has been appointed VP IoT Activities. 

"We welcome the Yesitis teams to the group; their expertise will be crucial in accelerating the development of IoT activities at Linxens. I'm convinced that together, we'll be able to bring innovative solutions to the market",

says Quentin Pretet. 

"Our ambition is to provide our customers with the most comprehensive support and offering possible. With this new team, we are in a better position than ever not only to offer components tailored to our customers' needs, but above all to position ourselves with them as a solution provider for their IoT projects," 

enthuses Cuong H. Duong, CEO of Linxens. 

Linxens' strategy of diversifying into the connected healthcare and IoT markets involves strengthening its teams with new skills and expertise. 300 new employees are expected to be recruited worldwide this year, including around 50 in France.

Markets are already moving on with these technologies. United States before anyone else, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific region. This is directly linked to the fact these regions are facing an ageing population with the challenge related to chronic diseases, and an increased awareness of infectious diseases.

All-in-all, the benefits of the new wearable “smart-patches” are multiple and significant. Alix Joseph, New Ventures HealthCare Director at Linxens have listed 5 major benefits to both clinicians, patients and society:

1. Continuous monitoring: Unlocking easy continuous monitoring of various physiological parameters such as heartbeat, temperature or breathing (but not only), it provides a complete picture of patients’ vital signs, not only a snapshot.
2. Remote monitoring: Connected to smartphones or other devices, they allow patients to send data to healthcare providers remotely. This can help to identify problems early and improve the management of chronic conditions.
3. Early detection: Continuous monitoring allows for early detection of changes in patients' health leads to early treatment and then better outcomes.
4. Personalized medicine: Monitoring and tracking individual patients' health metrics, providing valuable information could be used to develop personalized treatment plans.
5. Cost-effective: Being disposable and less expensive than other traditional medical devices and lab tests, it makes them more accessible for patients and healthcare providers.

Linxens is working on the vertical integration of the different pieces in these wearable medical devices to ensure the easier and faster development, focusing on robust and reliable solutions. The expertise gained in the past decades in mass production for flexible electronics leads to a unique capacity to propose cost-effective complex solutions for medical partners, both for biosensors, design, converting and secured data transfer.

Harnessing Collective Intelligence to Design New Connected Products This extensive program will punctuate the daily lives of future designers for three months. Our goal through this collaborative project is to combine the potential of our expertise with the creativity of students to innovate, conceptualize and develop a new solution around private or public water monitoring. 

Today, the majority of water control systems are optical products or electronic devices designed for professionals. Linxens wishes to participate in the development of a more accessible tool that enables the general public to measure water quality through sensors connected to a smartphone. 

While technology can help measure the quality of bathing water (pools, basins, lakes...), many applications remain to be imagined to conquer new markets. This is where the talented students of l’École de design de Nantes Atlantique come in. During this project, designers students immerse themselves in a real pedagogical experience serving progress and innovation. 

Their challenge is to create a fictional brand, reflect on the product's strategic positioning, and model a feasible solution that meets real consumer uses with concrete situations. “The design part in a technological innovation is crucial, because it allows to highlight the benefit of use beyond the simple technological benefit. 

For an innovation to be well received, it is not enough that it is technically efficient, but it must also be easy to use and accepted by the general public. Therefore, revisiting design is a key element to improve the adoption of innovations. 

This is why we wanted to collaborate with l’École de design de Nantes Atlantique, to get a new perspective on our products.” Nicolas de Guillebon, Innovation Director at Linxens L’École de design de Nantes Atlantique: An Inspiration for the Industry of the Future A real reference in the world of design, l’École de design de Nantes Atlantique is a recognized institution with international influence. 

A pioneer, it claims a unique positioning, considering design as a strategic discipline at the service of a responsible and sustainable world. The school makes a point of promoting exchanges between students and businesses. The "Just Draw It" project illustrates the school's professional anchoring by enabling students to collaborate on real issues. "Just draw it, just do it, just think it ... 

Based on Linxens' precise, simple and efficient technologies, this first project illustrates very well the common will to conceive clear semantics, obvious uses and accessible designs. A great challenge that our students from 8 different countries are delighted to take up." Olivier Pigasse, supervisor at L'École de design Nantes Atlantique and designer Linxens shares with l’École de design de Nantes Atlantique the ambition to think about the world of tomorrow, taking into account technological, societal, and environmental developments. We also share the conviction that design is at the heart of innovation strategies, enabling the exploration of new universes and the imagining of new uses. 

This partnership is an opportunity for Linxens to rethink its practices with a differentiating approach. "The project that our students are currently carrying out with Linxens perfectly illustrates the commitment of l’Ecole de design Nantes Atlantique to project-based teaching. Feeding on real contexts, constraints and problems, exploring the field of possibilities in order to produce visions and scenarios of the future, such is our methodological approach to support companies in their transformation in the face of tomorrow's issues and challenges." Florent Orsoni, Director of Foresight at L'École de design Nantes Atlantique A Project Divided into Several Stages Partnership launch on February 27, 2023 A collaboration organized around eight four-hour sessions over three months.

Cyril Proye, IoT Marketing Director at Linxens, comments: "As electric mobility is increasingly used worldwide, battery traceability is becoming a very important issue, both for the production chain transparency and for the safety of users. Therefore, Linxens is pleased with the initiative to create a passport for electric car batteries and is closely analyzing all related announcements. Regarding the projects presented in Davos, while the “digital twin" with all the battery information will be secured in the cloud, the use of QR code raises important security issues. 

Remember that it is very easy to copy or erase a QR code, which could be the source of many frauds. As an expert in traceability and authentication in highly secure areas such as banking, healthcare and personal identity, Linxens invites all car manufacturers to go further. To make the device truly effective, it is essential to create a label that is inseparable from the object and secure. For example, we know how to develop smart labels integrating a chip with a unique number and a memory, which cannot be removed without erasing its content. 

It is this type of technology that could provide the necessary security for this project. We are convinced that the battery passport for electric cars as presented in Davos can be improved. But we still have time to design a truly secure document. A real passport."
