EPI Info是美国疾病控制中心和世界卫生组织在过去五年中开发的一套通用计算机程序，用于文字处理、数据库管理、统计和图形制作。这些程序允许在疫情调查期间快速构建问卷、输入数据和进行分析。可以对数据输入和分析进行编程，以便为更持久的系统提供定制和自动操作，例如用于疾病或伤害监测的系统。EPI Info是公共领域的，副本可以免费分发。它需要一台与IBM兼容的微型计算机，内存至少为512千字节。目前正在进行法文和西班牙文的翻译工作；现已有翻译工具包，以方便翻译成其他语文。
Epi Info is a general-purpose set of computer programs for word processing, database management, statistics, and graphics developed over the past five years at the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. The programs allow rapid questionnaire construction, data entry, and analysis during epidemic investigation. Both data entry and analysis can be programmed to provide customization and automatic operation for more permanent systems, such as those for disease or injury surveillance. Epi Info is in the public domain and copies may be freely distributed. It requires an IBM-compatible micro-computer with at least 512 kilobytes of memory. Translations into French and Spanish are in progress; a translation kit is available to facilitate translation into other languages.
