Zebra HC50 Healthcare Mobile Computer (NEW)

Zebra HC50 Healthcare Mobile Computer (NEW)

The Zebra HC50 is Zebra’s most advanced Wi-Fi healthcare mobile computer, purpose-built for clinical and non-clinical workers in hospitals, clinics, care homes, and home health environments. It combines a 6-inch edge-to-edge Full HD+ display, an integrated SE4720 barcode scanner with patient-friendly white illumination, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, and a disinfectant-ready design into a slim, pocketable device built for all-day clinical use.

Supplied as a NEW device with a 2-year warranty, the Zebra HC50 is engineered for the specific demands of healthcare: true hot swap batteries that keep the device running through back-to-back shifts, a dedicated red duress button for emergencies, AI noise suppression for clear voice communications, and medical-grade plastics compatible with more than 30 disinfectants and wipes. It runs Android on Zebra DNA Enterprise, upgradeable to Android 16.

With 8 GB RAM, 128 GB UFS Flash, a 5 MP front camera for telehealth video, and support for push-to-talk, PBX calls, and secure messaging, the Zebra HC50 handles the full range of clinical collaboration and data-capture workflows. As a Wi-Fi-only device, it is ideal for staff who work primarily inside the facility; for teams that also need 5G and cellular connectivity, see the Zebra HC55.

Key Features Of The Zebra HC50

• Purpose-built for healthcare – The Zebra HC50 is designed specifically for clinical environments, with disinfectant-ready medical-grade plastics, a minimized-crevice housing, a red duress button for emergencies, and a patient-friendly SE4720 scanner with white illumination and green aimer.
• SE4720 integrated barcode scanner – The SE4720 1D/2D scan engine reads virtually any healthcare barcode in practically any condition, including damaged or poorly printed codes on patient wristbands, medication vials, supplies, and medical equipment. UDI barcodes are captured out of the box.
• Wi-Fi 6E connectivity – Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E delivers fast, reliable, low-latency wireless performance across dense hospital environments, with seamless roaming between access points and campus medical facilities.
• 6-inch Full HD+ edge-to-edge display – The 450-nit display delivers 20% more screen space than previous generations, with glove-compatible multi-mode touch. That means less scrolling and more visibility for clinical applications, patient records, and imaging.
• True hot swap battery – The removable 3,800 mAh battery supports true hot swap with up to 60 seconds of full functionality during the swap, so devices stay in service across back-to-back shifts without powering down or losing data.
• Telehealth-ready cameras – A 5 MP front camera enables telehealth video consultations with physicians, pharmacists, and specialists, while a 16 MP rear camera captures high-resolution clinical photos for wound documentation and facility rounding.
• AI noise suppression for clear voice – Built-in AI noise suppression algorithms use advanced neural networks to ensure clear voice communications even in busy emergency rooms, hospital hallways, and noisy clinical environments.
• Clinical collaboration and communication – Dual speakers, push-to-talk over Wi-Fi, PBX handset capability, and secure, auditable text messaging give clinical teams a full communications platform in one device.
• IP68 and IP65 sealing – Sealed to IP68 and IP65 with battery in place, with 1.25 m drop resistance per MIL-STD-810H and 500-cycle tumble resistance, the HC50 withstands the disinfecting, drops, and daily handling common in clinical environments.
• Zebra DNA Enterprise platform – Preloaded Zebra DNA Enterprise includes LifeGuard for Android (upgradeable to Android 16), Mobility Extensions, Zero Touch enrollment, StageNow, and Zebra Guardian for secure device storage, access control, and fleet management.

Key Benefits Of The Zebra HC50

Designed for clinical workflows from the ground up

Unlike general-purpose enterprise handhelds adapted for healthcare, the Zebra HC50 is purpose-built for clinical use — with patient-safe scanner illumination, disinfectant-ready materials, a duress button, and true hot swap batteries that match the realities of hospital shift patterns.

Premium performance for demanding clinical apps

With 8 GB RAM, 128 GB Flash, and a Qualcomm 5430 processor, the Zebra HC50 runs graphics-intensive healthcare applications smoothly — from viewing imaging studies to visualizing patient vital signs — while Wi-Fi 6E keeps data moving quickly across the facility.

Faster, more accurate medication and patient verification

The SE4720 scanner reads patient wristbands, medication vials, and UDI barcodes quickly and accurately, even if damaged or poorly printed. Out-of-the-box UDI capture also supports equipment recall checks, protecting patient safety and reducing hospital liability.

Continuous operation through full clinical shifts

True hot swap with 60-second functionality during battery changes means clinical staff can swap batteries without interrupting calls, notifications, or applications. Combined with fast charging and PowerPrecision battery health metrics, the HC50 stays available all day.

Enterprise-grade security for patient data

Secure Boot, Verified Boot, WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit encryption, LifeGuard for Android, and secure auditable messaging help healthcare organizations meet data protection and compliance requirements for patient information.

Ideal Use Cases

• Clinical Nursing & Bedside Care – Medication verification, patient wristband scanning, vital sign documentation, and secure communication at the point of care.
• Telehealth & Remote Consultations – A 5 MP front camera enables high-quality video consultations with physicians, pharmacists, and specialists within the facility.
• In-Facility Clinical Teams – Wi-Fi 6E connectivity is ideal for nurses, physicians, and clinical support staff working primarily within hospital and clinic walls.
• Non-Clinical Hospital Operations – Facilities management, patient transport, hospital supply chain, food services, and environmental health teams benefit from rugged scanning and secure communications in one device.
• Pharmacy & Laboratory – Accurate barcode scanning for medication management, sample tracking, and inventory across pharmacy and lab environments.
