HUMANEED Wins Double Awards at Hitosuzumi Award 2026 for Heatstroke Prevention

HUMANEED representative Mika Hiraoka has won two prestigious awards at the Hitosuzumi Award 2026, held on May 15, 2026: the Grand Prize in the Heatstroke Countermeasures Advisor Category, and the Top Runner Award, voted by over 25,000 advisors. The awards recognize her development and promotional activities for the WORK COOL KIT, a portable heatstroke countermeasure kit. Designed with the concept that heatstroke countermeasures should be an everyday culture, the kit utilizes accessible and affordable commercial products from 100-yen shops and drugstores. It includes carefully selected items like instant cooling packs, oral rehydration solutions, and a laminated first-aid flow chart. This allows anyone to easily prepare and respond effectively to heatstroke. The kit has been highly evaluated for its practicality across various settings, including workplaces, schools, and events, enabling low-cost, continuous safety operations.
