iAwhi is a smart, intelligent digital solution designed to enhance the coordination and delivery of care.
iAwhi blends Indigenous values with modern, data-driven technology, ensuring care is connected, culturally relevant, and deeply aligned with the individual’s needs.
Building Stronger Care Networks
Care begins with connection. iAwhi brings together individuals, their whānau (family), carers, service providers, and teams to create seamless, people-first support systems, ensuring coordinated care, no matter the distance.
Our ApproachAt the Heart of iAwhi
iAwhi centres the individual, surrounded by a connected care community. Whānau (family), carers, service providers, and teams come together within an integrated network, each playing their part as kaitiaki (guardians) of wellbeing.
Grounded in the principle of kaitiakitanga (guardianship), iAwhi recognises the shared responsibility of care, where connection, protection, and trust are upheld by everyone involved. Every step of the care journey is informed, efficient, and deeply aligned with the needs of the person at the centre.
Ngākau Purotu
A Culturally Conscious Practice Model
Ngākau Purotu is a practice model grounded in universal values aligned with a Māori worldview, resonating with diverse communities. These values guide care that is person-centred, culturally aware, and focused on the individual and their whānau (family). iAwhi integrates the Ngākau Purotu framework across services and sectors, adapting to different cultural contexts. This ensures care that respects each person’s unique background while remaining connected, responsive, and values-driven. Built with Māori ways of thinking at its core, iAwhi bridges Indigenous knowledge with practical, people-first solutions. Its adaptable, data-driven system supports culturally relevant care not only in Aotearoa New Zealand but also for communities worldwide.
Empowering Care Through Connection and Insight
Care is about more than just support, it’s about understanding and making informed decisions. iAwhi brings everyone involved in the care journey together on one seamless platform.
Real-time updates, live data, and shared insights ensure all decisions are based on the most accurate information, improving outcomes for everyone. iAwhi’s flexible design connects individuals, whānau (family), carers, and providers, capturing progress in real-time, simplifying communication, and keeping everyone on the same page.
Made by whānau, shaped by lived experience
iAwhi was created from our own need to navigate and care for our whānau (family). We wanted to keep everyone connected, ensure the right information was always within reach, and support those at the heart of the care journey.
Our team in Aotearoa (New Zealand) has firsthand experience on the frontline of care and understands the challenges that come with it. That insight continues to guide us as we refine a platform that makes caring simpler, more connected, and better for everyone involved.
