[City, State] – [Date] – In a strategic move to address the critical challenges of nurse burnout and staffing shortages, Aiva Health and Zebra Technologies have announced a powerful collaboration. By integrating AIva’s AI-powered Nurse Assistant (ANA) with Zebra’s purpose-built healthcare devices, the partnership aims to put nurses at the center of orchestrated care, delivering a truly hands-free CLInical experience.

Bridging the Gap Between Software and Hardware

Healthcare systems globally are under immense pressure to deliver high-quality care amidst escalating administrative complexity. To combat this, the collaboration unites Aiva’s ambient, voice-enabled software with Zebra’s rugged, clinical-grade hardware—specifically the HC20/HC50 mobile computers and the WS101-H wearable badge.
This integration allows clinicians to interACT with Technology naturally, without breaking focus or sterility. Whether gloved, mobile, or mid-procedure, nurses can now manage workflows through simple voice commands, ensuring that technology supports rather than hinders the care process.

️ Key Features and Capabilities

The joint solution is designed to eliminate friction in fast-paced hospital environments. Key capabilities include:
  • Seamless EHR Documentation: Nurses can document patient interactions directly into leading Electronic Health Record systems, including Epic and Oracle Health, via voice.

  • Instant Work Orders: Staff can submit maintenance or supply requests through ServiceNow instantly.

  • Real-Time Information Access: Immediate access to clinical policies, procedures, and interpretation services (via providers like LanguageLine and AMN Healthcare) ensures continuity of care.

  • Low-Latency Performance: Zebra’s hardware ensures reliable, SECure, and fast interactions, critical for time-sensitive clinical settings.

Executive perspectives

"Nurses are the heart of healthcare. Our mission is to empower them with technology that lets them focus on what they do best: caring for patients."
— Kassaundra McKnight-Young, Chief NuRSIng Informatics Officer at Zebra Technologies. "This Partnership is a milestone in our commitment to clinician wellbeing... creating a truly hands-free experience that reduces administrative tasks and gives nurses back valuable time at the bedside."
"Nurses are our healthcare superheroes, but for years hospitals have overburdened them with new systems while focusing on streamlining the work of physicians."
— Sumeet Bhatia, Founder and CEO of Aiva Health. "With Aiva and Zebra, hospitals can Dramatically reduce the administrative burden of nurses too, while also improving patient experience and cutting costs."

The Impact: From Friction to Flow

This initiative aligns with Zebra’s Orchestrated Care Framework, emphasizing visibility and Operational efficiency. By reducing the time spent on routine administrative tasks, healthcare organizations can:
  1. Mitigate Burnout: Reducing cognitive load and administrative interruptions supports clinician mental health.

  2. Enhance Patient Experience: Faster response times and increased face-to-face interaction improve patient satisfaction scores.

  3. Optimize Resources: Scalable voice tools allow teams to refocus on complex care needs, maximizing the utility of scarce human resources.

As the healthcare industry shifts toward Ambient Intelligence, this partnership represents a practical, scalable step toward modernizing clinical workflows without adding the burden of "click fatigue."
