Your Digital Telecare Partner
Over 20 years experience promoting independence
Chiptech is a privately owned assistive technology provider with over 20 years experience in the industry. We have offices based in both the UK and New Zealand and are at the forefront of the digital transformation in assistive technology. We pride ourselves on our person-centred customer journey that guides and supports every step of the way.
Our Research and Development facilities and manufacturing capabilities, ensure that our solutions are industry-leading, of the highest quality and at the best price point for the customer.
Chiptech digital telecare products are renowned for their safety, elegance and ease of use. A talented team of engineers have designed products with a strong focus on automated safety checks. Events are logged and reported to monitoring, giving peace of mind that products will operate as expected in an emergency.
While Chiptech supplies end to end solutions, we actively work with other providers to offer comprehensive solutions to suit individual needs. All Chiptech digital devices are actively supported through the fleet management platform, SmartCare Cloud, which enables devices to be updated while they are in the field, reducing site visits.
Chiptech is experienced in contract manufacturing and upscaling production for higher volumes, having recently supplied an Australian-wide government funded migration programme to change over landline (copper) alarms to digital reporting telecare systems. This included the provision of software and support to enable the monitoring of data reporting products. Chiptech is now rolling out a similar programme in the UK to support the BT analogue switch off in 2025.
