The 'hitoe® Heat Countermeasure Service for Cloud' is a service that links a chest-worn wearable sensor 'hitoe®' worn by workers with a smartphone app. It acquires and analyzes biometric information such as heart rate, work environment information such as temperature, and exercise data in real-time (*1). This allows for the detection of signs of physical changes in hot environments, supporting worker health management and risk reduction.
As an official partner of the 'Zero Heatstroke' project, we will support initiatives that detect changes in workers' physical condition through the 'hitoe® Heat Countermeasure Service for Cloud' and lead to concrete measures such as taking breaks and hydrating.
■ What is the 'Zero Heatstroke' project?
This is a project promoted by the Japan Weather Association aiming to reduce the number of people affected by heatstroke and to achieve zero deaths from heatstroke. (https://www.netsuzero.jp/)
■ On-site heatstroke countermeasures realized by the 'hitoe® Heat Countermeasure Service for Cloud'
With this service, workers can check their own physical condition on their smartphones, and managers can also grasp the status of multiple workers at once. The 'hitoe® Heat Countermeasure Service for Cloud' does not rely on workers' judgment or experience. It enables early detection of signs of physical changes based on data, allowing for appropriate timing of responses such as breaks and hydration. This makes it possible to practice the basics of heatstroke countermeasures on-site: 'Find', 'Judge', and 'Respond'. (https://www.ntt-tx.co.jp/products/hpa/)
