In recent years, with the development of the IoT society, wearable devices have attracted increasing attention in fields such as healthcare and manufacturing. Currently, the main notification methods used in wearable devices include vibration, light emission, electrostatic stimulation, and sound. However, these methods face challenges such as high energy consumption and difficulty in being perceived in noisy factory environments.In this study, we investigated a notification device that uses heat generation as a means of notification. Considering the temperature increase over a small area of the finger, it is theoretically possible for users to perceive the notification with a low energy consumption of less than 0.01 J. Therefore, this approach is expected to serve as a user-friendly notification method that can convey information even in environments where sound or light-based notifications are difficult to perceive.
