This study aims to prevent passive (classical) heatstroke, which is common among the elderly, in order to maintain physical function and support activity and participation in the elderly from the perspective of ICF. In this paper, we report on the measurement of body surface temperature and subcutaneous temperature using a medical silicon mannequin that simulates the biological characteristics of the elderly, reproducing the environment in which passive (classical) heatstroke, which is common in the living environment of the elderly, is likely to occur. In addition, we report on an experiment to verify the effect of a jacket with a built-in electric fan on suppressing the rise in body temperature in an environment prone to passive (classical) heatstroke.
