Heat stress estimation

Constantly monitor heat stroke risk in workers, and promote early prevention measures.


  • Accurately estimate heat stress by using a wristband to check temperature, humidity, body movement, and heart rate, and also taking into account onset risk factors such as exercise habits and medical history.
  • Used in heatstroke prevention solutions at construction and manufacturing sites.

Applications



  • Heatstroke prevention services

Benchmarks, strengths, and track record



  • In stress estimation tests at workplaces, false positive result probability is reduced to 17.7% (46.8% under recommended MHLW standards) without missing real heat stress symptoms.
