The initiative utilises Aiva’s voice-first assistant on Zebra’s purpose-built devices, including the HC20/HC50 mobile computers and the WS101-H wearable badge, allowing nurses to maintain focus on patient care while completing tasks.
Zebra’s Orchestrated Care framework underpins this approach by offering intelligent visibility and optimised operations in healthcare settings.
Zebra Technologies chief nursing informatics officer Kassaundra McKnight-Young said: “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. This partnership with Aiva is a milestone in our commitment to clinician well-being.”
Aiva’s AI assistant enables nurses to use natural voice commands for documentation, work order submissions, and accessing clinical policies.
It also supports voice-initiated clinical interpretation sessions. When integrated with Zebra devices, it facilitates seamless voice interactions, secure communication, and integration with existing hospital systems.
Tailored for healthcare environments, Zebra’s devices ensure durability and security while supporting Aiva’s assistant to reduce administrative burdens. The collaboration helps cut interruptions, allowing nurses to spend more time with patients.
Aiva founder and CEO Sumeet Bhatia said: “Nurses are our healthcare superheroes, but for years, hospitals have overburdened them with new systems while focusing on streamlining the work of physicians.
“With Aiva and Zebra, hospitals can dramatically reduce the administrative burden of nurses too, while also improving patient experience and cutting costs.”
Both companies share the goal of modernising frontline healthcare through wearable, voice-enabled solutions. As hospitals navigate staffing shortages and increased complexity, this partnership offers a scalable method to enhance nurse support without adding complexity.
