DONGHWA Heart Rate Monitoring Equipment
Defining a New Industry Benchmark
Innovation Insights
Project Background
This product is a mobile cart system designed for heart rate monitoring.
Based on research into real-world usage scenarios and operational pain points, the monitor and main unit were innovatively separated from the cart structure.
Compared with similar products, this design enables rapid detachment and portable use.
Innovation Value
In emergency situations, the monitoring unit can be quickly removed and carried independently.
This provides convenient heart rate monitoring equipment for areas with limited transportation access or disaster-affected regions, helping medical professionals gain valuable time for patients.
The overall cart adopts a lightweight C-shaped form, creating a slimmer and less bulky appearance.
Its distinctive product identity and innovative operating method earned the 2019 iF Design Award and introduced a new direction for industry development.
Design Strategy
Optimization and Upgrade
The lightweight design reduces the heavy visual and physical impression associated with traditional medical carts.
It makes the equipment easier for users to move while also reducing transportation costs.
Functional Experience
The product adopts a modular design.
The detachable all-in-one monitoring unit can be used independently according to different operating environments, improving work efficiency.
Exterior Upgrade
A concealed drawer is integrated into the product.
This approach combines form and function within a more compact and unified design.
User Experience
The screen is tilted at a 75-degree angle to better suit the user’s operating posture.
💡 Solution
1. Color and Handle Design
The product uses a white-and-black color scheme, with black on the inside and white on the outside, conveying a simple and refined aesthetic.
A single-arm handle adds a lighter and more dynamic visual character to the product.
2. Detachable Monitoring Unit and Cable Management
The detachable all-in-one unit is convenient to carry.
The functional areas on the rear of the main unit are clearly organized, and the cable management structure keeps the device neat while preventing safety risks caused by tangled connection cables.
