Empower clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers to improve efficiency, task accuracy and patient outcomes.

Zebra's HC2X/HC5X Series is a family of rugged healthcare mobile computers purpose-built to help workers improve efficiency, accuracy, patient care quality and patient outcomes. The Wi-Fi HC20/HC50 and Wi-Fi/5G HC25/HC55 balance ergonomics, features and cost in pocketable devices that are easy to carry, use, disinfect and manage.

From hospitals and clinics to care homes and patient homes, the family keeps demanding healthcare applications within reach. These compact devices support extended communications and can serve as a two-way radio, PBX handset and mobile-driven workstation, while Zebra DNA and the Zebra Guardian portfolio simplify device use, management, recovery and access control.

Perfectly Designed on the Outside for Healthcare

The Ergonomics Every Healthcare Worker Wants

Zebra's thinnest and lightest healthcare mobile computers are balanced to reduce hand fatigue. Contoured surfaces and sculpted lower bumpers reduce pressure points, provide a secure grip for different hand sizes and improve all-day comfort.

Built for Constant Disinfecting

Advanced medical-grade plastics support more than 30 approved wipes and disinfectants. A housing with minimal crevices and a specially designed USB-C port plug help reduce areas where pathogens can accumulate.

20% More Display Space to See More — and Scroll Less

The bright, edge-to-edge 6-inch FHD+ display provides 20% more display space and remains easy to read in virtually any lighting. The touch panel works with a bare finger or the thin gloves commonly worn by healthcare workers.

Call for Help with a Press of the Red Duress Button

The dedicated red duress button can call a specific number or launch an application during an emergency. Its configurable activation sequence helps prevent false alarms.

One Set of Accessories for All Models

Shared accessories simplify deployment across the family, including disinfectant-ready carry clips and hand straps, charging and workstation cradles, spare batteries and screen protection. This can simplify upgrades while protecting compatible accessory investments.

Unbeatable Battery Features

Zebra's thinnest and lightest healthcare mobile computers are balanced to reduce hand fatigue. Contoured surfaces and sculpted lower bumpers reduce pressure points, provide a secure grip for different hand sizes and improve all-day comfort.

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

Flexible Options for World-Class Split-Second Scanning

The integrated SE4720 scan engine is designed for scan-intensive workflows and captures 1D and 2D barcodes on patient wristbands, medication vials, supplies, equipment and food trays, including damaged or poorly printed codes. Its white illumination and green aimer are patient-friendly. Models without the scan engine use the high-resolution rear camera and included Zebra decoding software for occasional scanning.

Capture High-Resolution Photos with the 16 MP Rear Camera

The 16 MP rear camera documents everything from wound condition to facility rounds. Out-of-the-box UDI barcode capture helps workers check equipment recalls, capture charges and maintain more complete inventory visibility.

Power Today’s Healthcare Apps

The Qualcomm 5430 processor, generous memory and support for MicroSD cards up to 2 TB provide the performance and storage needed for graphics-intensive healthcare applications, patient vital signs, imaging studies and detailed equipment schematics. The removable battery can be swapped instead of taking a device out of service to charge. PowerPrecision supplies real-time battery-health metrics, and true hot swap on HC50/HC55 keeps calls, notifications and data active during a battery change.

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

The 16 MP rear camera documents everything from wound condition to facility rounds. Out-of-the-box UDI barcode capture helps workers check equipment recalls, capture charges and maintain more complete inventory visibility.

The Fastest, Most Dependable Wireless Connections

The HC20 and HC50 are designed for staff working inside a facility with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, respectively. The HC25 and HC55 add 5G and Private 5G for workers traveling to patient homes or roaming between campus facilities. Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and USB-C round out the connectivity options.

Enhance Communication with AI Noise Suppression

AI noise-suppression algorithms help keep calls clear in busy emergency rooms, hospital hallways and while moving between buildings. Optional Zebra Workcloud Communication tools add push-to-talk and PBX handset capabilities for faster collaboration.

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

Turn Devices Into Two-Way Radios and PBX Handsets

AI noise-suppression algorithms help keep calls clear in busy emergency rooms, hospital hallways and while moving between buildings. Optional Zebra Workcloud Communication tools add push-to-talk and PBX handset capabilities for faster collaboration.

Secure Text Messaging — When Audio Calls Aren’t Appropriate

Optional secure, auditable text messaging supports privacy-sensitive communication. The 5 MP front-facing camera on HC50/HC55 enables telehealth consultations and video collaboration with physicians, pharmacists and other caregivers.

High Quality Video Conferencing for Superior Collaboration

Optional secure, auditable text messaging supports privacy-sensitive communication. The 5 MP front-facing camera on HC50/HC55 enables telehealth consultations and video collaboration with physicians, pharmacists and other caregivers.

Android™ ‘Plus’ — Enhanced with Enterprise Capabilities

Zebra extends Android with enterprise controls and tools for security, deployment and updates. Zebra Zero Touch supports no-touch deployment, while LifeGuard™ for Android™ provides ongoing security patches with control over when updates are installed.

The Zebra-Only Difference — Everything You Need to Build a Truly Complete Healthcare Mobility Solution

Zebra DNA

Zebra DNA applications help simplify setup, security and device management while providing time-saving tools for workers. HC50/HC55 include Zebra DNA Enterprise integrated solutions; HC20/HC25 include Zebra DNA Professional, with an Enterprise license available for the complete toolset. The Zebra Guardian portfolio helps ensure ready-to-use devices are available at the start of each shift.

Zebra Guardian — Optimize Device Availability and Access Control

Zebra DNA applications help simplify setup, security and device management while providing time-saving tools for workers. HC50/HC55 include Zebra DNA Enterprise integrated solutions; HC20/HC25 include Zebra DNA Professional, with an Enterprise license available for the complete toolset. Guardian Cabinets secure and charge devices, Identity Guardian streamlines secure access, and Device Guardian helps locate missing devices even when a device is turned off or its battery is depleted.

Create a Mobile-Driven Workstation with Workstation Connect

When a task requires a larger screen, keyboard, mouse and printer, place the HC2X/HC5X in a compatible Connect Cradle to create a fully featured workstation at a nurses station, ward hub or portable computer cart. HC20/HC25 require a Zebra DNA Enterprise license for Workstation Connect.

Healthcare workflows across the care environment

Clinical care and medication workflows

Patient identification, medication administration, specimen collection, UDI capture, telehealth and secure caregiver communication can be combined on one disinfectant-ready platform. Integrated SE4720 scanning is configuration-specific, and front-camera video functions are limited to HC50 and HC55 models.

Facilities, home health and biomedical operations

The rear camera, barcode tools, emergency button and device-management portfolio support equipment tracking, environmental services, facilities rounds and home-health visits. HC25 and HC55 add cellular connectivity for work outside Wi-Fi coverage, while HC20 and HC50 are intended primarily for facility WLAN use.
