You know that back office drawer — the one overflowing with outdated USB drives, tangled cables, and half-dead power banks from long-forgotten vendor visits? For most medical practices, especially here in Salt Lake City, that drawer is a graveyard of well-intentioned tech gifts that were more clutter than solution.
This year, let’s change that. Let’s give your team something they’ll not only use, but rely on. Whether it’s to improve telehealth efficiency, ease documentation fatigue, or protect sensitive data, the right tech gift can support your practice in ways that actually matter. Especially for busy healthcare professionals, a useful upgrade can be the difference between tech stress and tech confidence.
As someone who’s been in the trenches of family medicine and now works hand-in-hand with practices across Salt Lake City, I’ve curated a list of practical, meaningful tech tools for your staff, your clinicians — even your toughest-to-please partners.
For Remote Staff or Telehealth Teams: Boost Their Setup
High-Quality Webcam ($100–$150)
Let’s be honest — laptop cameras were never meant for patient care. Your clinicians deserve to look professional when connecting with patients or specialists remotely.
Our pick: Logitech Brio 4K. Exceptional clarity, great low-light performance, and a built-in privacy cover. Add a ring light for extra polish.
Why they’ll love it: Improves professionalism, patient connection, and confidence during virtual visits. A must for any telehealth setup.
Desktop Monitor Light Bar ($50–$90)
Most exam rooms and home setups have terrible lighting. These light bars reduce eye strain and improve visibility without adding clutter.
Our pick: BenQ ScreenBar. It mounts without drilling, avoids glare, and provides perfect desk lighting.
Why they’ll love it: Less squinting. Fewer headaches. Better focus during late-night charting.
Wireless Keyboard ($120–$180)
Charting doesn’t need to be painful. A smooth, responsive keyboard transforms daily documentation.
Our pick: Logitech MX Mechanical. Pairs with multiple devices, has quiet keys, and lasts up to two weeks per charge.
Why they’ll love it: Their wrists will thank you. The upgrade feels luxurious, even if it's for the EMR.
For Traveling Doctors & Practice Owners: Tech That Keeps Up
Compact Power Bank With Built-In Cables ($90–$120)
From conference floors to airport terminals, this is the portable charger that keeps working (and keeps up).
Our pick: Anker Laptop Power Bank. Built-in cables, huge capacity, and no need to remember extra cords.
Why they’ll love it: Say goodbye to low-battery anxiety between consults and conferences.
Noise-Canceling Earbuds ($200–$350)
Every physician I know needs a bit of peace and quiet — even if it’s on a crowded flight.
Our pick: Sony WF-1000XM5 or Apple AirPods Pro 3. Comfortable, powerful ANC, and seamless device switching.
Why they’ll love it: Turns chaos into calm, making travel more productive and less exhausting.
Portable Laptop Stand ($40–$90)
Neck strain shouldn’t be part of your workflow. A portable stand improves posture whether you're in clinic, at home, or on the road.
Our pick: Roost Stand. Lightweight, collapsible, and tough enough for any laptop.
Why they’ll love it: Ergonomics that travel well. It’s a game-changer for mobile professionals.
For That One Doctor Who Has Everything
High-End Tech Organizer ($50–$100)
Every practice has that provider whose bag is a tangle of cords and dongles.
Our pick: Bellroy Tech Kit. Sleek, durable, and perfectly organized.
Why they’ll love it: Travel becomes easier, and nothing gets left behind in the call room.
Smart Notebook System ($35–$40)
Ideal for providers who love to write but need digital backups.
Our pick: Rocketbook Fusion. Reusable, scannable, and compatible with all major cloud storage.
Why they’ll love it: Handwritten notes meet digital convenience — no more losing ideas to sticky notes.
For The Whole Practice (Budget-Friendly, Bulk-Ready)
Portable Phone Sanitizer ($60–$90)
In the exam room or the break room, phones are germ magnets.
Our pick: PhoneSoap 3. Sanitizes and charges. Safe, simple, and effective.
Why they’ll love it: No lectures, just cleaner phones. Peace of mind in a post-pandemic world.
Skip These (Seriously)
- Branded USB drives — Nobody needs a 4GB thumb drive anymore.
- Generic Bluetooth speakers — Too impersonal.
- Fitness trackers — Feels like a passive-aggressive nudge.
- Smart home devices — Too private.
- Cheap wireless chargers — Compatibility issues galore.
The Rule We Swear By
If it doesn’t solve a problem or make the day smoother, skip it. A $50 light bar used daily is better than a $200 toy that ends up in your junk drawer.
