The purpose of this study was the fabrication of the near-Infrared camera system with the thermal stimulation system using Peltier device for evaluating the risk of a heat shock while bathing. In the fabrication of the system, Peltier device was attached to a heat sink with a small electric fan. In the biometric measurement, the thermal stimulation system was attached to a hand of subject and blood vessel of the finger was taken a picture with a near infrared camera and a near infrared light source as a transmissive image during thermal stimulation. In the results, the vessel expanded or constricted depending on the heat stimulation. But, the vascular response was different by subjects. This result suggests the possibility of the quantitative evaluation of the risk of heat shock and the detailed study will need.
