The Scale
Exposure is the most documented
Exposure is the most documented
blind spot in global health.
1.88 million people die each year from conditions caused by where they work — nine million more from the environments they live in. Most never knew the risk was building. We built the first tool that measures it.
1 Based on WHO and WHO/ILO joint estimates of the work-related and environmental burden of disease.
Meet ORTON.
The exposure wearable built for the conditions most devices were never designed to survive. It clips on, stays on, and reads everything your environment throws at you.
Built for real-world work
Rugged and lightweight, ORTON is rated for dust, moisture, and hard labor — surviving heat and chemical environments a gym tracker never would, clipped on for the entire shift.
Passive by design
No manual input during your shift — ORTON reads your environment continuously in the background, sampling automatically and syncing when you're back on network.
One device, a lifetime of data
Your exposure history follows you shift after shift — the full picture builds over months and years, so you can spot trends and anomalies at a glance.
How it works
Five steps. One number.
Linear, and each one a single action. Wear it, let it collect, answer a few questions — then watch your score evolve.

Collect
The badge reads wear time and heat exposure in the background. Passive. No manual input.

The Science
Every Exposure Score is built on decades of peer-reviewed research
Five exposure types. Each one mapped to the published evidence that proves where your environment quietly does its damage.

Dust & Smoke
Up to 37% of small-scale miners show signs of silicosis — disease that builds silently for years before a single symptom.
Howlett et al. · PLOS Global Public Health, 202302
Heat & Hydration
An epidemic of chronic kidney disease is striking farm workers in their prime — tied to heat stress and dehydration.
Johnson, Wesseling & Newman · NEJM, 201903
Solvents & Chemicals
An estimated 385 million unintentional pesticide poisonings occur each year among the world's agricultural workers.
Boedeker et al. · BMC Public Health, 202004
Heavy Metals
Low-level lead exposure is linked to roughly 250,000 cardiovascular deaths a year — far more than once assumed.
Lanphear et al. · The Lancet Public Health, 201805
Labor & Noise
Occupational noise accounts for about 16% of disabling hearing loss in adults worldwide.

"I take the score every Monday before my shift. It is the first time anyone has tracked what the work is doing to me."

"Three minutes on WhatsApp. That was the whole thing."
"Nobody had ever asked me about my exposures before."
"My score came back low. The check-up it triggered caught something early — while it was still reversible."
