Tropos OPI  ·  Orbient Platform Intelligence

One platform.
Every environment.

Tropos OPI is a One Health intelligence platform — fusing continuous environmental sensing, community disease surveillance, vector-borne and zoonotic risk signals, and domain-specific AI into a single architecture built to predict health risk before it becomes harm — designed for clinical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, maritime, and consumer settings.

The platform

Build it once.
Deploy everywhere.

Most environmental monitoring platforms are built for a single use case — a sensor for air quality, a dashboard for HVAC compliance, a wastewater feed for public health.

Tropos OPI is different. It is a single One Health intelligence architecture — continuous sensing infrastructure, a multi-domain AI fusion engine, and a compliance and governance layer — designed to deploy across every regulated environment that cares about what air, water, community burden, and ecological signals mean for the people inside.

The same architecture that will carry environmental exposure risk into regulated clinical use already powers Disease Weather's real-time pollen, air quality, and disease surveillance for consumers. Tropos Discovery — the platform's internal signal incubator — surfaces emerging risk patterns across vector-borne disease, zoonotic spillover, wildfire toxin exposure, and coastal water risk, each a candidate for a future product vertical.

Platform architecture

1
Environmental Sensing Layer
Continuous PM2.5, humidity, VOC, CO₂, NH₃, and temperature from wireless sensor nodes. 30-second polling. Store-and-forward architecture. Regulatory audit trail built in.
2
EDAL  ·  Environmental Disease Activity Layer
AI fusion engine combining facility sensing, community disease surveillance (CDC ILINet, NWSS, Google Pollen API, Open-Meteo/CAMS), and population vulnerability into a continuous Environmental Health Index. SHAP-based explainability. Federated learning architecture. Patent pending (ORB-IP-2026-001).
3
Compliance Intelligence Layer
Automated incident lifecycle management, regulatory audit trail generation, alert routing, and cross-vertical compliance documentation for Joint Commission, FDA, ISO, and ASHRAE requirements.

Domain-specific configurations
of a single platform

Each vertical is Tropos OPI configured for a specific regulated environment — its signals, its standards, its buyers. Verticals below are in development or planned.

Sphere Aware
by Orbient
Environmental exposure risk intelligence for respiratory and immunocompromised patients, built on the same ETRI–EDAL–EHI scoring chain that powers Disease Weather. No cleared predicate exists for an environment-to-health-risk claim, which places Sphere Aware on the FDA De Novo pathway. Prospective clinical validation study in planning.

Consumer & developer layer

Environmental health intelligence,
free for everyone

Disease Weather is the public-facing layer of the Orbient platform and a One Health consumer intelligence product. Free, real-time environmental health conditions for any US location — air quality, pollen, community disease burden, and environmental conditions fused into a single plain-English score. In production since April 2026, with users across ten countries and no paid acquisition to date.

Disease Weather+ is the premium tier — adding a lifestyle survey, a personal environmental sensitivity profile, and a personalized fourth domain that adjusts the Environmental Health Index to your individual environmental vulnerability. Built for people managing respiratory sensitivity or heightened environmental vulnerability — and for anyone who wants their environment translated into personal, plain-English risk.
