Zebra HC55: A Powerhouse Device for Healthcare
Video
The Zebra HC55 is part of Zebra’s newest family of healthcare mobile computers. Unlike consumer-grade devices, this is designed specifically for healthcare organizations. It offers the tools, power, ergonomic features, and ruggedness required in medical settings.
The HC55 is built with proven health-grade materials and can easily withstand repeated cleanings with the disinfectants used in healthcare.
It has a true hot-swap battery so it can be used shift after shift without any downtime for charging.
The HC55 has a bright 6-inch full HD display, and it’s significantly thinner than previous models. The contoured sides and back ensure a comfortable and secure grip for any size hand.
The HC55 features multiple programmable keys that can be customized to specific workflows. It even has this easily accessible red one on the back that is a duress button that a caregiver can use in an emergency situation.
It offers cellular and private 5G along with Wi-Fi 6 for fast and seamless connectivity across large medical campuses, in patient homes, and more.
The powerful Qualcomm processor and plenty of memory mean instant application response times in all the apps that medical workers rely on.
As I move from application to application, you can see the impressive speed here and how fast it opens tools like the camera and scanner.
The 16 megapixel camera with built in flash is perfect for documenting the status of wounds and other data collection.
The built-in scanner is world-class. In a split second, a caregiver can capture wrist bands, medication labels, supplies, and more.
The HC55 is also a powerful communication and collaboration tool. For phone calls, it uses AI to ensure crystal clear voices, even in noisy environments. This device will also run Zebra’s impressive new Workcloud Sync application – for secure push-to-talk, voice and video calling, multimedia messaging, and task tracking—all on a single powerful application.
So why choose Zebra’s purpose-built medical-grade devices over consumer smartphones?
- Consumer devices have shorter lifecyles – increasing costs.
- They’re not as rugged or dependable, so more IT support is needed.
- Because batteries can’t be removed, they can’t be shared over multiple shifts.
- There’s a greater risk of infection because they can’t handle powerful disinfectants.
- Mission-critical applications are often not certified for consumer devices.
