Tools

Inspired by collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts in the scientific community, the Institute for Disease Modeling builds modeling tools that result from extensive collaboration among members of our research and software teams. These innovative tools provide quantitative and analytical means to model the transmission of infectious diseases. IDM software tools are freely shared with the scientific community to accelerate disease eradication efforts using computational modeling.

  • Compartmental Modeling Software (CMS)

    CMS enables you to construct a stochastic compartmental model using a variety of different solvers.

  • Covasim

    Covasim is a stochastic agent-based simulator designed to be used for COVID-19 (novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2) epidemic analyses.

  • EMOD generic

    EMOD-Generic is a stochastic, agent-based, spatial model designed to inform policy decisions as well as investigate new intervention strategies. The within-host and transmission models allow the user to see how different interventions impact transmission of a low complexity disease. As a spatial model, EMOD allows the definition of demographics, relationship dynamics, and intervention distributions in…

  • EMOD HIV

    EMOD HIV is a stochastic, agent-based, spatial model designed to inform policy decisions as well as investigate new interventions strategies.  The within-host and transmission models allow the user to see how different interventions impact transmission.  As a spatial model, EMOD HIV allows the definition of demographics, relationship dynamics, and intervention distributions in different regions as…

  • EMOD malaria

    EMOD malaria is a stochastic, agent-based, spatial model designed to inform policy decisions as well as investigate new interventions strategies.  The within-host and transmission models allow the user to see how different interventions impact transmission.  As a spatial model, EMOD malaria allows the definition of demographics, habitat, and intervention distributions in different regions as well…

  • FPsim

    FPsim is designed as an open-source tool for family planning research.

  • Gene Drive

    The Gene Drive dashboard enables you to explore the effects of a single release of gene drive mosquitoes with different values of various gene drive system and vector population parameters on malaria elimination probabilities and prevalence, as well as vector populations and genetics.

  • HIV Leaky Vaccine

    The Leaky Vaccine dashboard is an online tool to explore the effects of exposure heterogeneity on HIV vaccine efficacy, given a leaky vaccine.

  • HPVsim

    HPVsim is a flexible agent-based model that can be parameterized with country-specific vital dynamics, structured sexual networks, co-transmitting HPV genotypes, B- and T-cell mediated immunity, and high-resolution disease natural history.

  • PACE-HRH

    PACE-HRH simulates the healthcare needs of a given population so you can more effectively plan what healthcare worker resources will be necessary to provide a wide range of healthcare services. The model is configured via Excel sheets and run via an R script.

  • phyloModels

    phyloModels is a Python-based library that provides a suite of utilities for modeling and calibration, with a particular emphasis on leveraging phylogenetic data. This library is designed to help researchers and analysts in understanding evolutionary relationships and patterns by integrating phylogenetic data into their models, thereby enhancing the accuracy and relevance of their findings. Our…

  • RAINIER

    RAINIER is a statistical approach for fitting SEIR epidemic models to case and mortality data. We use the approach to create models of COVID-19 transmission in King County, WA

  • Starsim

    Starsim is a fast, flexible agent-based disease modeling framework. It is an open-source toolbox for simulating the spread of multiple diseases among agents via dynamic transmission networks. Publications Research areas Vaccine-preventable diseases Women’s reproductive, infant, and child health

  • Subnational Family Planning Estimation Tool

    The subnational family planning estimation tool (SFPET) is an interactive web app created to aid policymakers in assessing progress towards family planning goals by visualizing both model-based and direct survey estimates of family planning indicators at the subnational level.

  • WES

    The WES R package provides reproducible functions for collating and analyzing data from wastewater and environmental sampling studies. Wastewater and environmental sampling (WES) of infectious diseases involves collecting samples from various sources (such as sewage, water, air, soil, or surfaces) to monitor the presence of pathogens in the environment. Analysis of WES data often requires…
