Epi Info™ for Web
Thank you for being part of the Epi Info™ Community of Users.
After careful consideration, CDC will be phasing out support for Epi Info™. Product development and technical assistance for Epi Info™ will discontinue after Sept. 30, 2025. While the desktop tool could be functional after CDC assistance is discontinued, updates to Windows operating system and .NET framework might interfere with the usability of Epi Info™. This decision is part of CDC's realignment of resources to focus on products that support the ONE CDC approach to data modernization in public health strategies. CDC understands that this may impact your operations, and we want to ensure users have ample time to transition smoothly. CDC is committed to assist throughout this transition period. A team has been assembled to ensure smooth sunsetting of support for Epi Info™ with an emphasis on customer experience. The team will continue to offer support and maintenance for Epi Info™ until the phase out date.
If you have any questions, please contact: epiinfohelp@cdc.gov or check our website for additional updates/information regarding this announcement.
The Epi Info™ ecosystem includes web enabled and cloud optimized versions of several Epi Info™ for Windows components. They combine to provide a highly scalable platform for data collection, analysis and visualization. Users can create complex data collection instruments using Epi Info™ for Windows and publish them to the cloud to allow distributed data collection. Users can also establish web based dashboards that automatically calculate risk ratios, generate epi curves and display case cluster maps to provide real-time analysis of the data. These live dashboards can also be viewed on mobile devices to provide rapid situational awareness in the field. Furthermore, the analysis functions are designed to be database agnostic so they can be used to analyze public health data from third party systems running on Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL. Finally, as these components are intended for multi-user access, they provide enhanced access control and security beyond what is currently available in Epi Info™ for Windows.
Epi Info™ Web Survey
A free and open source tool developed for the public health community for one-click publishing of Epi Info™ surveys on the web to collect data from a broad audience. Epidemiologists can distribute links to the surveys via emails, blogs, social media and QR codes, and survey participants can anonymously provide secure responses. The anonymous collected data is stored in a centralized database for instantaneous access and analysis.
