“Ensuring the right patient receives the right care, at the right time, is critical. By providing patient health information in real time to clinicians directly at the point of care, the quality of patient care is elevated,” said Chris Sullivan, Global Healthcare Strategy and Practice Lead, Zebra Technologies. “Our latest HC20 and HC50 handheld mobile computers equip healthcare providers with innovative technology solutions to improve workflow efficiency at the point-of-care to meet clinicians’ complex and evolving needs.”
The HC20 and HC50 feature a large 6-inch high-definition (FHD+) edge-to-edge display and improved connectivity with Wi-Fi 6/6E support. They have advanced audio communications capabilities, including HD voice, voice over IP (VoIP), push-to-talk and private branch exchange (PBX) calling, part of Zebra’s Workcloud Communications suite.
The devices also include another key feature of Zebra’s Workcloud Communications suite called Profile Manager, which enhances patient-centric care by providing secure authentication, automation of tasks, and the ability to identify and manage user roles. This promotes a more efficient and effective healthcare ecosystem in which data and services are readily available.
With Zebra’s new HC20, healthcare practitioners are gaining an optimal, purpose-built yet affordable solution to keep their healthcare staff connected and properly equipped. Both devices convert into a full workstation with Zebra’s Workstation Connect and a Connect Cradle, enabling healthcare workers to use a desktop size screen, mouse, keyboard and other peripherals on the move.
