ELIMINATE THE STRUGGLE: The Treatment Cloud™ is a patent pending patient support device that works in combination with the existing treatment couch for radiation treatment.

The new patient couch increases support for overweight patients and reduces nurse and doctor handling of patients during transfer to the treatment couch.

More About Why the Treatment Cloud Is Needed

Development by T'City Jets FLL Team

The T'City Jets student led biomedical engineering team developed their patient couch after reviewing existing radiology equipment and treatment couches. The comprehensive review took place at the state of the art Lewis Hall Singletary Oncology Center that opened in 2010 in Thomasville, Georgia.

Thanks to Archbold Hospital for letting our team use their facilities to develop our ideas.

The engineering team met with the lead radiation oncologist, Dr. Steven Johnson, M.D., who has interest and expertise in radiation oncology. Thereupon, the team identified several emerging problems with the treatment couch and spear-headed a team effort to find an affordable solution.

The Treatment-Cloud was presented to the radiation oncology team and further development and investment in the preliminary concepts encouraged.

Thanks to Dr. Johnson and his team for their support.

This improved patient couch can be used in radiology departments everywhere to provide additional weight support and patient positioning on an as-needed basis.

Important for the Future of Radiation Treatment

The side effects of radiation treatment include fatigue, hair loss, skin problems and loss of appetite. Both the effects of cancer and these side effects wear on patients over time and make treatment even more difficult. The Treatment Cloud makes radiation treatment sessions faster and more comfortable for everyone.

Oncologists and Radiation Therapists provide important and vital treatment. Both patients and medical care staff deserve the benefits of the Treatment Cloud.
