HC20/HC50 Mobile Computers

Perfectly Designed on the Outside for Healthcare

The Ergonomics Every Healthcare Worker Wants

Zebra’s thinnest and lightest healthcare mobile computer is perfectly balanced to minimize hand fatigue. Contoured surfaces and sculpted lower bumpers reduce pressure points and provide any size hand with a secure grip—and all day comfort.

Built for Constant Disinfecting

The disinfectant-ready design offers advanced medical grade plastics that support the widest selection of disinfectants in the industry.

And a specially designed housing and USB-C port plug minimize crevices where pathogens can accumulate.

20% More Display Space To See More—And Scroll Less

The high resolution, 6 in., FHD+ edge-to-edge display is bright and easy to read in virtually any lighting. And it works with the thin gloves typically worn by healthcare workers.

Call for Help With One Press of the Emergency Alert Button

This programmable dedicated button can be configured to call a specific number or launch an application in emergency or duress situations, with an activation sequence that prevents false alarms.

One Set of Accessories for Both Models

Make carrying easy with the disinfectant-ready healthcare carry clip or hand strap. There are cradles designed for the backroom, a desk or a nurses station, plus extra batteries to ensure power for back-to-back shifts and a screen protector that boosts display durability.

Unbeatable Battery Features

No need to take these devices out of service to charge—if the battery runs low, just swap in a fully charged battery. With true hot swap², you can change batteries without impacting device functionality—no missed calls, no missed notifications, no lost data. PowerPrecision technology provides real-time metrics to monitor battery health, so you can easily spot and replace batteries that can no longer hold a full charge. And you can use any standard USB-C charge cable for charging flexibility.

Perfectly Designed on the Inside With Advanced Mobile Technologies to Boost Productivity and Care Quality

World-Class Split-Second Scanning

Barcode scanning is a crucial part of everyday healthcare workflows. Now, workers can easily capture barcodes on patient wristbands, medication vials, supplies, medical equipment, food trays and more — even if barcodes are damaged or poorly printed. And the white illumination and green LED aimer are patient friendly, safe for use everywhere in the hospital.

Capture High-Resolution Photos With the 16 MP Rear Camera

From clinical workers capturing wound condition to non-clinical workers documenting facility rounding, completion of maintenance or damaged incoming inventory or equipment, a picture really is worth a thousand words. With the easy capture of high resolution photographic documentation, healthcare workers can spend less time explaining — and more time on crucial tasks.

Power Today’s Healthcare Apps

Healthcare workers use graphics-intensive applications — from clinicians visualizing patient vital signs remotely and viewing imaging studies to maintenance engineers accessing detailed equipment schematics. The HC20 and HC50 can handle it all with its faster processor, large memory space and 2TB MicroSD card slot.

The Fastest Wi-Fi Speeds for the Most Dependable Connections

In the mission critical world of healthcare, a dropped or slow connection at the wrong time can have disastrous results. With support for Wi-Fi 6 (HC20)³ and Wi-Fi 6E (HC50), you can provide four times the number of devices with triple the speed of Wi-Fi 5.⁴ Everyone benefits — workers get the fastest and most reliable Wi-Fi connections, and your organization can quadruple staff without requiring additional network infrastructure.

Out-of-the-Box Capture of Unique Device Identifier (UDI) Barcodes

Instantly check to see if medical equipment has been recalled before use, protecting patient safety. Easily capture charges for all items, protecting the bottom line. And inventory visibility is complete and more accurate, eliminating risky out of stocks.

Hear Every Word on Every Audio and Video Call

Get crystal clear voice, even if workers are in a noisy environment — from a busy emergency room to hospital hallways and the receiving dock. Advanced voice technologies include: three integrated microphones, advanced noise canceling algorithms, dual speakers for loudness, a high quality speaker phone and support for HD Voice and Bluetooth wireless headsets.

Turn the HC20/HC50 Into Two-Way Radios and PBX Handsets

Empower your workers with multiple voice-calling capabilities — push-to-talk (PTT) communications and the ability to place and accept PBX calls. Now, nurses can reach a physician instantly or take a call from a family member checking on a loved one — all right on the HC20/HC50.⁵ And with Profile Manager, these optional voice solutions are easy to deploy and manage.

Secure Text Messaging—When Audio Calls Aren’t Appropriate

Comply with privacy laws that protect patient information with text messaging that is secure and auditable—unlike text messaging on the cellular public network.⁵

High Quality Video Conferencing for Superior Collaboration

Enable remote telehealth consultations with physicians, pharmacists and other caregivers through the HC50’s 5 MP front facing camera.

Android ‘Plus’—Enhanced With Enterprise Capabilities

Support through Android 16 ensures forward compatibility with future versions of Android. Deploy ‘no touch’ updates on your schedule with Zebra Zero Touch. Control availability of GMS services on your devices with Stage Now to increase security. Add over 100 features to improve Android’s security, data capture support, wireless connectivity and device manageability. And with LifeGuard^TM for Android^TM, you get a lifetime security guard for your Zebra mobile devices. LifeGuard ensures the latest security patch is always installed, while providing powerful update modes that put you in control over how and when devices are updated.
