Epi Info™ first began as a CDC software development effort in 1985. In 1994 the Internet allowed CDC to begin distributing Epi Info™, for free, to an international audience. Today, using Epi Info™ and a personal computer, epidemiologists, public health, and medical professionals aroung the wolrd are rapidly developing adaptive questionnaire forms, analyzing, and visually displaying their collected data in geographic maps and charts.

Epi Info™ version 7
|
|
The CDC has posted the project to rewrite the well known Epi Info™ suite of tools into CodePlex under the Open Source Apache 2.0 license. The Open Source strategy for the next generation of the Epi Info™ suite of tools is similar to that of the well known MySQL. Just as MySQL has a free “Community Edition” and an “Enterprise Edition”, the new Epi Info™ will have the “Open Community Edition” and a special hardened “CDC Edition”. The new "CDC Edition" of Epi Info™ suite of tools will include the rewrite of Epi Map, a GIS tool based on the ESRI® ArcGIS Engine, and will meet the infrastructure security requirements of State and Federal governments. Once completed, the "CDC Edition" will be available for free download at http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo.

Epi Info™ Development
|
|
One of the more daunting challenges we face in the field of global public health is overcoming the absence of trust and collaboration in the sharing of data and information. For years public health advisors, scientists, epidemiologists, and the like have organized themselves into domain specific silos that, over time, have developed into strong fortresses of ownership and isolation unparalleled in today’s modern society. Fueled by increasing competition for funding, these fortresses continue to defy all political attempts to build a trusting and collaborative overarching society within the global public health community. |
