To a World Where You Can See a New You — TOMOCLOUD Achieves Everyday Care with Unique Bio-imaging.
TOMOCLOUD Inc., a startup from Chiba University, is leveraging its unique bio-imaging technology, Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), to improve the quality of life (QOL) for lymphedema patients and cancer survivors. This technology, dubbed 'smartphone-visible CT,' aims to provide a new platform for medical care, nursing care, and healthcare, alleviating 'invisible anxieties.'

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is the dream of TOMOCLOUD Inc.
TOMOCLOUD Inc. (Representative Director: Ryoma Ogawa), a startup originating from Chiba University, declares its 'dream' to implement its unique bio-imaging technology in an accessible form for society, contributing to the improvement of QOL (Quality of Life) for lymphedema patients and cancer survivors, and to grow into a new platform technology that flexibly connects medical care, nursing care, and healthcare.

**■ 'Don't let research end with a paper' — A patient's words as our origin**
Our origin lies in the words of a patient that our representative, Ogawa, heard in a hospital ward during his student days: 'What makes me most anxious is not being able to see the condition of my body.'
It's not just the symptoms themselves, but the 'invisibility' that deepens people's anxiety. When we realized this reality, a strong desire to create technology that alleviates invisible anxiety and deliver it to the field emerged.
Especially after treatment for lymphedema or cancer, many people harbor the invisible anxiety of 'has it recurred?' In an atmosphere of 'at least your life was saved,' daily swelling and fear tend to be put aside.
It is difficult to obtain deep biological information related to edema using circumference measurements, scales, or smartwatches, and hospital MRI or CT scans cannot be used daily. This barrier of 'ease of use' versus 'accuracy' creates lonely anxiety for patients.
We resolved to deliver technology that alleviates this invisible anxiety and founded the company.
**■ Achieving 'smartphone-visible CT' with our unique 'EIT' technology**
Overcoming this barrier is our unique visualization technology that we have refined: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT).
It captures changes in the electrical properties of water and body tissues, which constitute about 60% of the human body, allowing for simple, highly accurate, and non-invasive visualization of the inside of the body.
Currently, with EIT technology as our core, we are challenging ourselves to create 'smartphone-visible CT,' including early detection of lymphedema.
This is not just an imaging technology. It is a 'compass' for people to take the next step with confidence the moment what was invisible becomes visible, and a 'companion' that stays with them in their daily lives.
**■ And, to become a 'common language' connecting medical care, nursing care, and healthcare**
Our dream is to nurture this Japan-born technology into a global social model.
1. **Healthcare:** Capture changes in daily life and prevent pre-symptoms.
2. **Medical Care:** Early detection of abnormal signs and optimal treatment.
3. **Nursing Care/Care:** Support a person's unique life with consistent data even after treatment.
From prevention to post-treatment care, we connect scattered data points into a continuous line, creating a society where everyone can live authentically.
