The TC52ax-HC Touch Computer

To give every patient the best care possible, empower your health care workers with the best technology (that doesn’t ever get in the way).
The TC52ax-HC healthcare mobile computers from Zebra offer a disinfectant-ready enterprise solution for healthcare organizations that want to improve the operational efficiency of their clinical workers and give better, more accurate care to patients around the clock.
What’s New for the Zebra TC52ax-HC?
The Zebra TC52ax-HC brings the ultimate in mobile computing for healthcare providers and adds some great improvements:
- Wi-Fi 6 for faster, more reliable connectivity
- Double the memory of the TC52-HC models (4 GB of RAM)
- Stunning blue casing, in the same disinfectant housing

Zebra’s touch computers are designed with hospital staff in mind. An emergency room triage is a hectic environment already. Nurses cannot afford to troubleshoot an old scanner or hesitate because a device isn’t connecting properly. They simply ignore the device, log patient data manually on the computer, and move along. Their focus is on patients, after all. These moments of technology downtime add up in the big picture, however. Don’t let outdated healthcare computers hold you back.
The TC52ax-HC provides instant familiarity to users. Anyone who has grown accustomed to a consumer grade smartphone can operate the TC52. It’s powered by Android, has an easy to read 5-inch HD display, and a responsive touch screen that responds even to latex gloves in a frantic environment.
