Why Visibility Matters

At Totum Tech, we are driven by purpose. Our story began with a question: how can technology support those who live with invisible conditions like Raynaud’s syndrome? This question has guided our path, inspired our product, and shaped our mission.

A Spotlight on Our Founder

In a recent feature in La Presse, one of Canada’s leading publications, our founder Maria Julia Guimaraes shared the deeply personal story behind the creation of Totum Tech. Her journey is one of empathy, resilience, and bold innovation. Maria Julia understands what it means to live with an invisible condition. Her motivation to found Totum Tech came from a place of lived experience and an unshakable belief that no one should be left behind by technology. That belief is the heartbeat of our company.

Innovation with Impact

As highlighted in the article, our mission is not only to develop a smart heated glove for people with Raynaud’s but to build inclusive, AI-powered solutions that adapt to real human needs. Our technology listens, learns, and evolves with the user.

Recognition That Validates Our Work

This recognition by La Presse validates what we stand for: a world where chronic, invisible conditions are not ignored but acknowledged, supported, and understood. We’re proud to be part of a movement that challenges the status quo and redefines how we care.
