Intelligence Platform

GOES translates environmental data into actionable, medically-validated safety guidance. Here’s how it works.

From Environmental Data to Actionable Intelligence

Every weather app can tell you it’s 103 degrees. Only GOES compounds and translates environmental signals to tell you which risks pose an issue, and exactly what to do about it. Here’s how closing the Outdoor Health & Safety Gap works.

Heat Illness: CRITICAL

Proprietary algorithms developed by 27 wilderness medicine physicians compound signals into composite metrics, map them against medically-validated thresholds, and score the resulting risk.

Delivered to field personnel

Categorical risk scores are paired with severity-stratified medical guidance. Designed for non-medical personnel to drive safe behavior, and mitigate health risk.

Finding the Environmental Signal in Noise

Signal monitoring is much more sophisticated than data aggregation. GOES categorizes signal data into four categories to generate useful, focused, and medically-validated, outdoor health intelligence. GOES is data-source agnostic: upstream providers can be swapped or supplemented based on coverage, partner requirement, or data resolution needs.

Raw Environmental Signals

Direct measurements from data sources: atmospheric, solar, terrain, air quality, precipitation, and temporal patterns.

Examples include
TemperatureHumidityWind SpeedWind DirectionUV IndexSolar RadiationBarometric PressurePM2.5PM10OzoneAQIElevationSlopePrecipitationTime of DaySeasonWBGT Estimate

Compound Signals

Algorithmically combined metrics. WBGT uses a physics-based formula to approximate heat stress on the human body. Modified Wind Chill incorporates recent precipitation because wet cold is far more dangerous than dry cold.

Examples include
WBGT (Temp+Humidity+Wind+Solar)Modified Wind ChillEPA NowCastFeels-Like TemperatureWildlife Activity IndexPlant Exposure Risk

Contextual Signals

Location and time-dependent patterns that modify risk assessments. Wildlife seasonal activity cycles, plant growth ranges and toxicity levels, geographic species distribution, and real-time NWS severe weather alerts.

Examples include
Wildlife Seasonal CyclesPlant Growth RangesNWS Alerts: 120+ TypesSpecies DistributionHabitat BoundariesSeasonal Patterns

Organizational Inputs

Enterprise customization variables that configure the intelligence for specific operational contexts. These inputs are what transform generic risk data into guidance calibrated for YOUR workforce.

CORE API: The Environmental Risk Intelligence Engine

GOES CORE API is the environmental risk intelligence engine that powers the entire platform. Partners provide a location and relevant context: activity type, biometrics, work intensity, acclimatization status, personnel factors. CORE returns not just conditions, but what those environmental conditions mean for human safety, and exactly what to do about it.

Under the hood, proprietary algorithms compound real-time and forecasted environmental signals against physiological thresholds developed by wilderness medicine physicians. The result is best-in-class accuracy tuned to the human body, not just the atmosphere. The resulting medical-grade insights and guidance can be ported directly into an existing native experience, or leveraged for a purpose-built GOES MODULE.

Activity Intelligence: Environmental Data to Outdoor Safety Intelligence

Safety managers need actionable insight specific to their domain, not a list of data to manually pair with static safety protocols. GOES Activity Intelligence is the difference between a dashboard of disparate data readings and a co-pilot providing medical-grade guidance on what matters for the operation, right now and over the next 8 days.

Activity Intelligence consolidates all environmental risk scores, NWS weather alerts, and contextual factors into a single personalized safety briefing calibrated to the specific activity, location, and even a personnel profile.

EXAMPLEShowing: Construction Site

For today's concrete pour at the Riverside site, environmental conditions present significant heat risk. WBGT levels will exceed critical thresholds between 11am and 4pm. Mandatory cooling protocols should be in effect, with 15-minute rest cycles in shaded areas. Air quality is moderate due to regional wildfire smoke. N95 masks recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure. Lightning risk increases after 2pm.
