Mindray: Revolutionary Patient Monitor

Vertical Configuration
Patient monitors used to featured horizontal displays, and most were fixed in position. Our team collaborated with Mindray to orient the monitor vertically, a breakthrough design that allowed for more vital information to be displayed on the screen, in a way that was clear and easy to read. This configuration also ensured that the monitor took up less room in the crowded critical care space.

The Mindray V Series patient monitoring system was released to critical acclaim, winning a Gold Medical Device Excellence Award (MDEA), a Gold International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) for Medical Products, and a Good Design Award in 2011.

In the same year, I.D. Magazine named the V Series the “Best of Category” for improving patient care. One of the magazine’s judges noted that the designers of the V Series “really studied what happens in the patient room and in terms of transporting it and portability.” Another judge noted, “there is nothing superfluous on the design itself,” adding: “I think the cartridge aspect seems pretty revolutionary for the category.”
