Abstract(in English) Work in a hot environment, there is a risk of dehydration due to over sweating. In the same way, sweating in a cold environment causes a risk of lowering body temperature. In such environment, simple sweating sensing method is needed, because it is possible to improve the workers of health management for workers. However, sweating sensing in the mobile application field is not realized for practical use case. Thus the existing method sensing is not suitable for the purpose. There is three reasons: "large-sized sensor", "narrow measurement range with accuracy," and "high running costs".Therefore, In this paper, we propose a simple sweating sensing method using low-cost humidity sensors. Our method have been solved two necessary challenges of sensing to practical use:"reduction of errors due to individual differences in sweating" and "reducing the influence on environmental conditions such as wind/rain". In this paper, we firstly show rainfall which influences environmental conditions. By combining x-band real-time rainfall data and humidity sensors value, our proposed method can mitigate influence on environmental conditions.
