Zebra HC25 Healthcare Mobile Computer (NEW)
The Zebra HC25 is a purpose-built healthcare mobile computer designed for clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers in hospitals, ambulatory centres, 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, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and a disinfectant-ready design into a slim, pocketable device built for all-day clinical use.
With 5G and private network support, a 16 MP rear camera, NFC, push-to-talk capability, and MicroSD expansion up to 2 TB, the Zebra HC25 handles a broad range of clinical data-capture and communication workflows — from bedside medication verification to secure messaging between care teams. For teams that need a front camera for telehealth video, maximum memory, or true hot swap, see the Zebra HC55.
Supplied as a NEW device with a 2-year warranty, the Zebra HC25 is engineered for the specific demands of healthcare: a dedicated red duress button for emergency situations, AI noise suppression for clear voice communications in noisy clinical environments, and medical-grade plastics compatible with more than 30 disinfectants and wipes. It runs Android with Zebra DNA Professional, upgradeable to Android 16.
Key Features Of The Zebra HC25
- Purpose-built for healthcare – The Zebra HC25 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.
- 5G and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity – The HC25 supports 5G Sub-6 (NSA/SA), private 5G networks, and Wi-Fi 6 tri-band, with an optional Wi-Fi 6E upgrade, keeping clinical staff connected inside facilities, between campuses, and during home health visits.
- 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 medication management.
- 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 and 5G, PBX handset capability, and secure, auditable text messaging give clinical teams a full communications platform in one device.
- Mobile-driven workstation – Inserted into a Connect Cradle, the Zebra HC25 becomes a full workstation with a larger screen, keyboard, mouse, and printer — ideal for nurses stations, ward hubs, and computers on wheels (requires a Zebra DNA Enterprise license).
- 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 HC25 withstands the disinfecting, drops, and daily handling common in clinical environments.
- Hot-swappable battery – The user-removable 3,800 mAh PowerPrecision battery supports hot swap and fast charging, so devices can be kept in service across back-to-back shifts without extended downtime.
- Zebra DNA Professional platform – Includes LifeGuard for Android (upgradeable to Android 16), Mobility Extensions, Zero Touch enrollment, and StageNow for straightforward deployment and ongoing security management at scale.
Key Benefits Of The Zebra HC25
Designed for clinical workflows from the ground up
Unlike general-purpose enterprise handhelds adapted for healthcare, the Zebra HC25 is purpose-built for clinical use — with patient-safe scanner illumination, disinfectant-ready materials, a duress button, and 5G connectivity that matches the realities of modern hospital and home health environments.
Keeps staff connected across every care setting
5G, private 5G, and Wi-Fi 6 mean the Zebra HC25 maintains reliable connectivity whether staff are on a ward, moving between buildings, or conducting home health visits. Combined with PTT and PBX capabilities, it reduces the need for separate communications devices.
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 supports equipment recall checks, protecting patient safety and reducing hospital liability.
Dependable through full clinical shifts
A hot-swappable 3,800 mAh battery with fast charging and PowerPrecision health metrics keeps the Zebra HC25 available throughout the working day. For clinical teams moving between wards and departments, that means fewer interruptions and more time for patient care.
Enterprise-grade security for patient data
Secure Boot, Verified Boot, WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit encryption, and LifeGuard for Android help healthcare organizations meet data protection and compliance requirements. Secure, auditable messaging keeps patient communications off the public cellular network.
Ideal Use Cases
- Clinical Nursing & Bedside Care – Medication verification, patient wristband scanning, vital sign documentation, and secure communication at the point of care.
- Home Health & Care Homes – Reliable 5G connectivity and a slim, lightweight design support community nurses, in-home caregivers, and care home staff across dispersed locations.
- 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 pocketable device.
- Emergency & Paramedic Services – AI noise suppression, 5G connectivity, and a duress button support first responders and emergency teams in high-pressure, noisy environments.
- Ambulatory & Outpatient Centres – Fast barcode scanning, secure messaging, and reliable wireless connectivity for staff moving between consultation rooms, labs, and patient areas.
