Providing faster, better pathways to identifying, monitoring and treating respiratory disease
The challenge
TidalSense started with a name that was hard to get out: Cambridge Respiratory Innovations. It was a name that really only spoke to medtech investors - but the company wanted to expand their reach to include a much broader, non-specialist audience.
TidalSense needed to achieve large scale change at speed. In only a 12-week timeline, they wanted a new way of presenting themselves - and they needed something that would feel accessible and meaningful to investors, medical professionals, and patients alike.
Our process
This brand needed a fresh identity that could easily communicate a multi-part software and hardware ecosystem. With many moving parts - and ambitions for future expansion, TidalSense needed brand resources that would support them through an ambitious period of rapid growth.
We knew that renaming Cambridge Respiratory Innovations would play a major role in the company’s transformation. We conducted an exhaustive search of possible names - exploring options in Greek, Roman and Norse mythology, meteorology, and more. For TidalSense, the name emerged from the tech and its function: TidalSense references their patented CO2 sensing technology (N-Tidal), and signals the efficiency and reassurance that these groundbreaking tools offer.
From there, we designed a suite of brand assets around the lines and shapes created by respiratory measurements. For TidalSense, the waveform is a versatile and identifiable core creative piece. With endless iterative potential, expressions of the waveform allow this company to represent both the extensive scope of their technology, and the range and individuality of the patients they serve.
