Welcome to IDM Vis-Tools

The Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) develops complex software for disease modeling. The primary software, Epidemiological MODeling software (EMOD), helps determine the combination of health policies and intervention strategies that can lead to disease eradication. The effective use of EMOD requires analysis of simulation output. Vis-Tools is a collection of software tools that aids in the visualization of geospatial simulation data.
