Totumtech

Founded by Maria Julia Guimarães in December 2023, Totum Tech is pioneering 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 and proactive prevention against Raynaud's attacks. These gloves, combined with a mobile app, offer users a seamless and personalized experience, improving their autonomy and comfort in everyday life.

Issue

Raynaud's disease significantly affects the quality of life of individuals, especially those with poor circulation in the hands. This condition often causes painful spasms and cold extremities, limiting daily activities and decreasing overall well-being. Traditional solutions, such as 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 still focusing 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 allow users to customize their settings, track their condition, and receive valuable insights into their health habits.

Through a combination of preventative automation and real-time data monitoring, Totum Tech 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 made significant progress:

• Prototype Development: Totum Tech has successfully developed a working prototype of its heated 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 advice on certification processes, planning pilot tests and defining go-to-market strategies.

Perspectives

Totum Tech is focused on perfecting its product through additional testing and user feedback. With a target audience primarily comprised 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 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. As the company continues to innovate and expand its product capabilities, it is well-positioned to become a leader at the intersection of health and wearable technology.
