Totumtech

Founded by Maria Julia Guimarães in December 2023, Totum Tech is at the forefront of developing intelligent heating gloves designed to predict and prevent vasospastic episodes associated with Raynaud's disease. By integrating AI-driven sensors to monitor body and environmental temperature, Totum's solution offers personalized and proactive prevention against Raynaud's attacks. These gloves, combined with a mobile application, provide users with a seamless and customized experience, enhancing their autonomy and comfort in daily life.

Problem

Raynaud's disease significantly affects the quality of life of individuals, particularly those with poor circulation in their hands. This condition often causes painful spasms and cold extremities, limiting daily activities and decreasing overall well-being. Traditional solutions, such as manual hand warmers or gloves, offer limited and temporary relief without the ability to prevent or predict attacks. Patients need a more effective and personalized solution that allows them to manage their condition while focusing on their daily tasks.

Solution

Totum Tech's innovative heating gloves are equipped with advanced sensors that monitor in real-time the user's body temperature and environmental conditions. These sensors use AI to predict potential Raynaud's attacks, activating proactive heating adjustments before symptoms appear. Connected to a mobile application, the gloves allow users to customize their settings, track their condition, and receive valuable insights into their health habits.

Through a combination of preventive automation and real-time data monitoring, Totum Tech's gloves offer a practical solution for people suffering from Raynaud's disease, providing them with increased comfort, greater confidence, and the freedom to participate in daily activities without interruption.

Results

Since its incubation with Garage&co in 2023, Totum Tech has achieved significant progress:

• Prototype Development: Totum Tech has successfully developed a functional prototype of its heating gloves, integrating sensors, AI, and mobile connectivity.
• Pilot Testing: The gloves were tested in various environments, demonstrating their effectiveness in predicting and preventing Raynaud's attacks, thus improving users' ability to manage their condition.
• Strategic Support: Garage&co played a key role in Totum Tech's journey, providing guidance on certification processes, pilot testing planning, and commercialization strategy development.

Outlook

Totum Tech is focusing on refining its product through additional testing and user feedback. With a target audience primarily composed of working-age adults, particularly women with invisible disabilities, the company is well positioned for significant growth in the medical technology sector. By addressing a common yet often overlooked condition, Totum Tech's smart gloves are poised to have considerable impact on the lives of people with Raynaud's disease.

Conclusion

Totum Tech's intelligent heating gloves offer a revolutionary solution for people living with Raynaud's disease, ensuring real-time monitoring, predictive prevention, and personalized care. As the company continues to innovate and expand its product capabilities, it is well positioned to become a leader at the intersection of health technology and wearable technology.
