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.

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.

GOES EDGE: Outdoor Health Intelligence.
Shaped for Anyone.

The verified, composable wilderness medicine knowledge system that turns facts into guidance for any audience.

Every piece of safety guidance GOES delivers traces back to a physician-verified medical fact. Every fact assembles into guidance shaped for your audience, your environment, and your risk level. The knowledge base compounds with every engagement, and it is the smallest today that it will ever be.

From Medical Knowledge to Field-Ready Safety

The EDGE knowledge base already produces a growing library of physician-verified safety content, assembled from the same atomic facts, shaped for real-world use. The underlying knowledge base supports formats not yet imagined: field briefings, training curricula, compliance documentation, knowledge assessments, and more.

Training Content

Evidence-based educational topics covering wilderness medicine fundamentals. Assembled from verified clinical facts and shaped for learning.

Interactive Protocols

Step-by-step emergency response procedures. Each step traceable to physician-verified guidance, built for field decision-making.

Doctor Approved. Lepius Assembled.

Lepius AI is not a general-purpose language model pointed at medical literature. It is GOES’ proprietary wilderness medicine AI, trained exclusively on the EDGE knowledge base of physician-verified facts and proven content patterns.

Assembly, Not Generation

Traditional medical AI generates content from scratch, triggering full verification cycles every time. Lepius inverts that model. Given a brief, it inventories the verified library, identifies which facts and audience-shaped expressions already cover the need, flags the gaps, and drafts only the missing pieces for physician review. The result: new safety products in hours instead of weeks, with an audit trail built in from the start.

With Lepius

New compositions

Assembles new safety products from verified components, not generated from scratch.

Industry adaptation

Same knowledge base, industry-specific language and framing.

Localized content

Geographic-specific hazard guidance shaped for local conditions.

Compliance documentation

OSHA/NIOSH/MSHA-aligned outputs with intrinsic audit trails.

Multilingual

Safety content in any language, assembled from verified source materials.

Gap identification

Automatically flags what is missing at the fact, expression, or composition level.

Compounding Outdoor Health Intelligence

Every Statement Traces to a Source

From the guidance your people see, to the physician-verified fact, to the exact page in the clinical reference. The audit trail is not a feature we added. It is how the system works.

Any Audience, From One Knowledge Base

The same verified medical intelligence serves recreational hikers, utility crews, construction teams, military field operations, and park agencies—each in language built for them.

The System Gets Smarter With Every Use

Every piece of content built deposits new verified facts back into the library. Your safety program benefits from every engagement GOES has ever had, and every future one.

Speed and Rigor Are Not Tradeoffs

Physician-verified facts assemble into new products instantly. What once took weeks now takes hours, with a higher quality floor, not a lower one.

Building the Perfect Safety Stack.

GOES is built in two layers: an Engine Layer that creates outdoor health intelligence, and an Application Layer that delivers it. Partners can integrate at either layer depending on their needs.
