Totumtech

Founded by Maria Julia Guimarães in December 2023, Totum Tech is at the forefront of the development of smart heated gloves designed to predict and prevent vascular spasms associated with Raynaud's disease. By integrating AI-driven sensors to monitor body and environmental temperature, Totum's solution offers personalized, proactive prevention against Raynaud's attacks. These gloves, combined with a mobile app, offer users a fluid, personalized experience, improving their autonomy and comfort on a daily basis.

Problem

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

Solution

Totum Tech's innovative heated gloves are equipped with advanced sensors that monitor the user's body temperature and environmental conditions in real time. These sensors use AI to predict potential Raynaud's attacks, activating proactive heating adjustments before symptoms appear. Connected to a mobile app, the gloves enable users to personalize their settings, monitor their condition and receive valuable information on their health habits.

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

By addressing a common but often overlooked condition, Totum Tech's smart gloves are poised to make a significant impact on the lives of people with Raynaud's disease.

Conclusion

Totum Tech's smart heated gloves offer a revolutionary solution for people living with Raynaud's disease, providing real-time monitoring, predictive prevention and personalized care.
