 With the recent rise in temperature, heat stroke in daily life in hot environments has become a social problem. In educational settings, measures against heatstroke in hot environments have become extremely important in order to protect the lives (health) of children. In total, approximately 5,000 cases (*1) have been provided each year.    Under these circumstances, FANCL and TOPPAN will be able to visually visualize a person’s body temperature by combining FANCL’s research technology to visualize body temperature and TOPPAN’s film production technology. By developing a sticker (tentative name), we aim to solve social issues caused by hot environments. *1, Source: Guide for creating guidelines for heatstroke prevention in schools (Ministry of the Environment/Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) ■ Overview of demonstration overview: Two Yokohama City elementary schools introduced “stickers that make body temperature visible (tentative name)” into extracurricular activities.
