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.

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.

This is a sticker for confirming one’s identity when elderly people have been taken into protective custody by police or fire authorities after they became unable to return home from a place where they ended up.
The QR code nail jell sticker has been formally adopted as one of the tools for SOS supporting project for the wanderers of the Iruma City Hall in Saitama prefecture.

This year, this town has won a championship in the category of healthy 65-year-old male and female residents in Saitama Prefecture. To celebrate this, the subject event was held at Health Services Center/Welfare Services Center in Hatoyama-machi on a scale larger than usual.
At the request of Regional Comprehensive Support Center in Hatoyama-machi, we performed “a demonstration of the QR code nail jell sticker useful for finding out the elderly who wandered away” together with the staff of this Center in a borrowed corner space at this Center.
The Hatoyama-machi poster child “Hearton” also participated in this event, so the event was held in a conciliatory mood.
We had the 200 people who first came here attach our “QR code nail jell sticker” to their nails.Some participants told us that they want to buy this item on a personal basis.We would like to make it available as requested in the future.
This time, aside from the QR code nail jell sticker, we have created a special QR nail jell sticker for “Hearton” which is a poster child for Hatoyama-machi with the approval of the Industrial Promotion Section of this town.This sticker was received well by the women who actually pasted it on their nails.
This time, we were able to obtain opinions from various people who came to the event site where we were allowed to set up our presentation booth and to paste the “QR code nail jell sticker” and “Hearton sticker” on their nails.This reminded us of a fresh mind at the time of establishment of our company.In other words, this occasion was such a special day that we would like to reset ourselves, or continually commit ourselves to our business in good faith from now on.Many thanks to Regional Comprehensive Support Center and Industrial Promotion Section in Hatoyama-machi for giving us this opportunity.
Our company was registered for the business operator as a partner member of The Distribution Systems Research Institute.

Please look forward to a new proposal from Orange Links in the years to come.

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.

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.”
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.
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.
- Do not surprise
- Do not rush
- Do not hurt one’s pride.
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.
Now, Saitama Prefecture Police Department Community Safety Department has informed us that a message, which states our QR code nail jell sticker is one of the commercial products useful for confirming an identity of those who wandered away, was sent to all 39 police stations in Saitama.
Therefore, when a person wearing this QR code nail jell sticker is taken into protective custody of a police station in Saitama, this station can inquire a contact such as care houses to confirm the identity of this person.An entirely new tracking system for such identity confirmation has been realized in all regions of Saitama Prefecture.We would like to take this opportunity to thank Saitama Prefecture Police Department Community Safety Department.
