We think that the fact that the high cost relative to the cost is high, as shown by the fact that “although it is low technology, it is low cost”.

In addition, unlike the surveillance society, I believe that the nail Q-sticker has been highly evaluatedas a watch over type tool by the local community, including government and volunteer groups.

We intend to expand our “QR Sticker” worldwide, starting with Asian countries.Even a trivial question is fine. Please feel free to contact us.

Response to nail seal with sophisticated design

design_01

Recently, we often hear such words as “cosmetic therapy” and “welfare manicurist” in Japan .The former is a concept to vitalize elderly people by an effect of makeup. The latter refers to existence of dedicated manicurists who vitalize elderly people by providing manicure on their nails.

We have developed nail seal with sophisticated design this time in empathy with such concepts. On a previous day, we visited a caregiving salon and put the nail seal with sophisticated design on their nails in combination with our QR code nail jell sticker. Then, we heard a story from the head of caregiving salon that “facial expressions of elderly women whose nails were actually put with the seals turned brighter than usual.” Nail seal with sophisticated design seems to be effective to maintain and improve QOL (Quality of life) of elderly people.

(Example)Flower sheel
seal with sophisticated design 1(Floral seal)
(Example)Kumamon  Harton
seal with sophisticated design 2(Image character seal)
(Example)Nail art sheel
seal with sophisticated design 3(Nail art seal)

We provide nail seal with sophisticated design too in the future. We hope everybody with and without dementia to enjoy nail seals. We are convinced that the nail seal with sophisticated design is useful for events such as health and welfare festivals.
Please do not hesitate to consult with us.

We have developed a system using the QR code nail jell sticker for the purpose of finally confirming one’s identity so that the elderly can live in peace in a familiar region. Under these circumstances, we became aware that this organization was working from various perspectives for “safety of children, security of women” on a daily basis, and we were able to hear about the situation of such activities from Mr. Hidemoto Yabusaki, Senior Director of this organization.

We were strongly impressed to know that they were capitalizing on the past fruits of research for the purpose of the crime and disaster prevention at homes and in regions, the preparations for accidents, disasters, crimes, etc. in every aspect of one’s life and business, the preventive and controlling measures against danger and crisis, and the measures for safety during going overseas on assignment and traveling abroad, and that they were supporting the foregoing various types of approaches.

Abstract summary

12/05/2016

Our QR code nail jell sticker to all police departments in Tokyo.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Community Safety Department introduced our QR code nail jell sticker to all police departments in Tokyo.

Now, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Community Safety Department has introduced our QR code nail jell sticker as a commercial product useful for confirming an identity of those who wandered away.

This led to the establishment of an entirely new system in all areas of Tokyo Metropolitan Government as shown below. When such wanderers are taken into protective custody of police with the jurisdiction of Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the police will be able to inquire a contact such as their care houses about their identity.We would like to take this occasion to thank Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Community Safety Department for all of their help.

As there is a possibility that the elderly wanders away across areas with different jurisdictions, we strongly hope that this system will spread in all parts of the country as soon as possible.

A QR code on the QR code nail jell sticker is being read using smartphone applications.

Read it with smartphones.

We have developed a new QR code nail jell sticker in design .

This time, we have developed “a design QR code nail jell sticker” decorated with floral patterns in addition to the conventional sticker for the purpose of improving the quality of life (QOL).

We felt that an old lady, who tried out this design sticker for monitoring, showed a more cheerful expression on her face.
We believe that not only those who wander away but also their families and staff of care houses can make best use of the QR code nail jell sticker by putting this sticker on their nails in an easy-to-wear and joyful manner.Our foremost desire is that the persons concerned would feel like the QR code nail jell sticker is a good-luck charm.

It is our pleasure that this sticker will be utilized as one of the means for creating “a town with the safety net for those who wander away.”

We took part in “Training for saying something to anyone wandering away” .

Since last year, “Simulation training for protecting wandereres” has also been offered in Iruma City this year.From this year on, the name of this training is changed to the “Training for saying something to anyone wandering away.” The training was given in two areas of Kaneko and Higashimachi under the new name. The training was hosted by “Committee for creating a town with the safety net for those who wandered away, and was implemented with the participation of the staff of Elderly Welfare Department of Iruma City and Sayama Police Station seemingly in an organized way.Moreover, the junior high school students in both areas also were participating. We considered it important to watch for the safety of dementia wanderers with the participation of as many people as possible from the region as a whole.

training1(Advance explanation)
We were briefed on the training beforehand. Cautions for playing the roles of leaders, wanderers, those who say something to the wanderers, and note-takers were explained.

Let’s get the training started.
Be careful about three types of “Don’t” in saying something to the wanderers.

  1. Do not surprise
  2. Do not rush
  3. Do not hurt one’s pride.
training3(Evaluation meeting)
In the end, a party was held for information exchange after light meals.There were many opinions such as “It was actually difficult to say something to the wanderers” and “I am wondering if the training will be provided in other regions.”Finally, the junior high school students were brought in, who participated in the training. We felt that it would be promising in the future.
