Introduction
On June 1, 2025, Japan will implement new regulations for heat illness prevention as part of revised Occupational Safety and Health regulations. In response, Ad-Dice Co., Ltd. has announced that its health monitoring AI solution, ResQ AI, is fully compliant with these forthcoming requirements. The company acknowledges the increasing risks of heat-related illnesses due to climate change, particularly for those working outdoors in high temperatures and humidity.
The Necessity of Regulation
As extreme heat days become more frequent due to climate change, industries that involve long hours of outdoor work, such as construction, agriculture, and even disaster relief, are starting to recognize the need for robust preventive measures. The new regulations mandate companies to manage work environments according to the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index, along with tracking employees' health records. This regulatory change reflects the urgent need to address heat illness risks that can lead to serious health problems among workers.
What is ResQ AI?
ResQ AI, powered by Ad-Dice's proprietary Predicative Control AI technology, is designed to address not only heat illness prevention but also a broader spectrum of health monitoring. The AI effectively detects subtle signs of health risks, providing timely alerts to both employees and their supervisors. This preventative approach ensures that both parties can identify potential issues before they escalate into serious conditions.
Users wear smartwatches that monitor vital signs such as heart rate and respiratory rate. This data is transmitted to the ResQ AI system, which analyzes the information and generates an AI score indicative of the individual's health status. Both employees and managers receive real-time notifications that allow for proactive health management.
