Designed to be Familiar on Purpose
When tasked with redesigning a wearable heart monitor, Acorn had to strike the perfect balance between mechanical engineering and industrial design. The challenge was to fit enhanced, next-generation heart monitor components into a sleek, compact package while maintaining the aesthetics of the original design—a task that demanded seamless collaboration across both disciplines.
Mechanical Engineering: Performance at the “Cor”
The Cor MDx promised major leaps in performance, accuracy, and battery life — but realizing that potential in a sleek, wearable device demanded more than just smart components; it required smart engineering. Acorn’s mechanical engineering team rose to the challenge, reimagining the internal architecture to fit advanced sensors, circuitry, and power systems into the smallest, most efficient footprint possible. Along the way, Acorn also tackled critical manufacturing issues present in the existing design, drastically improving production reliability.
Industrial Design: Honoring the Original Aesthetic
While our engineers perfected the internal performance, our industrial design team protected what made the device instantly recognizable: its original visual appeal. With such a strong brand identity, there was no room for compromise — every detail needed to feel familiar yet elevated. To achieve this, we didn't just replicate the original design; we enhanced it. Acorn led a comprehensive CMF (Color, Material, and Finish) exploration to find the perfect balance between style, comfort, and durability. Thoughtful CMF choices were crucial to elevating users comfort and confidence as they wore this device for multiple days. The result? A device that not only looked familiar but also worked better than ever before.
Conclusion
Working hand in hand, Acorn ensured that external design choices complemented the internal architecture. Form needed to meet function without sacrificing user experience. Whether it was adjusting the curvature to accommodate internal components or refining the interface for easy access, every decision reflected a balance of both disciplines, with thoughtful attention to user experience and patient comfort throughout. The final result significantly increased the performance of the CorMDx device while preserving the original design language. Learn more about Peerbridge Health and Cor MDx by clicking this link.
