Secure, streamlined, and scalable: powering healthcare's digital future through smarter endpoints.

In a bold move reshaping digital operations in the healthcare sector, Citrix has rapidly advanced its hybrid work capabilities by integrating Unicon's secure endpoint solutions into its platform. Just 90 days after the acquisition, the combined offering is already delivering transformative results for healthcare organizations managing large, distributed workforces.

At the recent UNITE 2025 event in New Orleans, Citrix showcased the full potential of this partnership. A key highlight was the enhanced capabilities of eLux, Unicon’s lightweight endpoint OS, now fully integrated into the Citrix ecosystem. Healthcare IT leaders praised the solution for its ability to extend device lifecycles, improve endpoint security, and reduce operational costs—all critical factors in an industry where legacy systems and compliance demands often pose challenges.

With Windows 10 reaching end-of-life, many healthcare providers face a looming dilemma: replace or repurpose millions of aging devices. Citrix’s solution offers a compelling alternative. By deploying eLux across clinical and administrative workstations, organizations can extend hardware usability from 3 to 5 years—delivering up to 40% savings on IT spend.

The integration also supports seamless virtual desktop access through Citrix Workspace App or Chrome Enterprise Premium, enhancing mobility and enabling clinicians to securely access records and applications from any location.

Security remains a top priority. With features like “Boot to VDI,” developed through global team collaboration, devices now launch directly into secure virtual desktops—offering faster access with reduced risk. This is especially beneficial in fast-paced clinical environments where time and security are equally vital.

As Citrix looks ahead, the roadmap includes further enhancements like deviceTRUST and uberAgent, aimed at delivering even greater insights and policy control for healthcare endpoints.

With innovation accelerating, the message is clear: by controlling the endpoint, Citrix is empowering healthcare organizations to embrace a secure, flexible, and cost-effective digital future.
