Why choose IHCT
The founders of In Home Care Technology were carers themselves. They wanted to support independent living without being intrusive — and built CHUFFTY from that lived experience.
Built & maintained by IHCT
CHUFFTY helps seniors live independently at home longer — with daily check-ins, ADL logging, reminders and optional carer sharing. This corporate site is for partnerships and enquiries; the dedicated product experience lives at chuffty.com.

We believe independence shouldn't fade with age — it should evolve
At In Home Care Technology (IHCT), we don’t just build software. We build dignity into the everyday. We’re rethinking what in-home care looks like — for the person living alone, and for the carers, families and health professionals who walk that journey with them.
That’s why we created CHUFFTY — a tool designed not only to monitor, but to empower. Seniors log meals, medications, hydration, movement and wellbeing; when care is needed, those closest can see what matters through a secure Carer Portal.
Our mission: technology that serves people, not replaces them — so aging at home is a safe, supported and empowering choice.
Everyone deserves to feel seen. Especially at home.
Our solutions are designed to be easy to use and low cost — without locking you into long expensive contracts.

Corporate & clinical pathways
Clinical enquiries, licensing, white-labelling and design changes are handled through IHCT — this is the parent company behind CHUFFTY.
NARI–MARC Framework for technology-supported care at home
The National Ageing Research Institute (NARI), through the Melbourne Ageing Research Collaboration (MARC), developed an evidence-based framework to help in-home aged care providers plan and deliver technology-supported services. IHCT designed CHUFFTY with these principles in mind — person-centred support, daily living tools, carer collaboration, monitoring with dignity, and privacy-first data practices — so providers and clinicians can adopt care technology that fits the Australian home-care context.
