How to use the QR code nail jell sticker system

When those who have wandered away go missing, police officers account for 30 percent of the persons who finally take them into protective custody. If passersby, shop staff, etc are added, they account for about 60 percent in total.As the police make contact in the end, it appears that a large part of the persons who take them into protective custody are the police (an excerpt from “Watching for the people with dementia and SOS network actual examples—Aiming for a town where we can live in peace and safely (edited by Ms. Kumiko Nagata)).

The QR code nail jell sticker will be distributed from the organizations such as local government offices and care houses to individuals at home, etc, and then be attached over there.It works like this: If any person, who has wandered away, goes missing and then is taken into protective custody of the police, his or her identity will be finally confirmed using this sticker.

    This works like this: Prepare a QR code nail jell sticker (Fig. 1),
    and then record the contact information such as the names of one’s care house and local government where a person resides on this sticker.

    • Any personal information will not be recorded on the sticker.
    • Basically, the name of care house and the phone number of contact only are recorded.
  2. Attach the sticker to the fingernails or toenails
    As an example, the QR code nail jell sticker is put on a fingernail.

    • Just peel off the sticker from the mat, and then attach the sticker to the fingernails or toenails.
    • The sticker will not come off from the nails for a few weeks even if it gets wet after taking a bath or shower.

    Confirmation of identity
    When the person is taken into protective custody of police or fire authorities after the person became unable to return home from a place where the person ended up, the authorities can inquire a contact such as care houses about his or her identity for confirmation by reading a QR code on the sticker (Fig.2) (Fig. 3) using a smartphone application (Fig. 4).Then, the person will be able to return to the sweet home or friendly care house.
