Zebra Technologies Corporation and Aiva Health, a pioneer in voice-powered clinical software, announced a partnership to support hands-free nurse workflows using Aiva’s AI-powered Aiva Nurse Assistant on Zebra healthcare devices, including the HC20/HC50 mobile computers and Zebra’s new WS101-H wearable badge.

Through this collaboration, healthcare organizations can equip nurses with a voice-first assistant that works seamlessly with Zebra’s purpose-built devices, enabling clinicians to complete routine tasks, retrieve information, and communicate. 

Aiva Nurse Assistant is an ambient, voice-powered AI assistant built specifically for hospital environments. Nurses have charted millions of rows with Aiva, drastically reducing documentation time, improving patient experience scores, and cutting incidental overtime costs.

When paired with Zebra’s HC20/HC50 mobile computers, nurses can use Aiva alongside familiar mobile workflows. With Zebra’s new WS101-H badge, Aiva enables truly hands-free interactions, allowing nurses to speak naturally without reaching for a device, even while wearing gloves or performing clinical procedures.

“Nurses are the heart of healthcare, and our mission is to empower them with technology that lets them focus on what they do best: caring for patients,” said Kassaundra McKnight-Young, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, Zebra Technologies. “This partnership with Aiva is a milestone in our commitment to clinician well-being. By combining Aiva’s intuitive voice assistant with our purpose-built healthcare devices, we are creating a truly hands-free experience that reduces administrative tasks and gives nurses back valuable time at the bedside.”
