Welcome to the FRED Epidemic Simulator

FRED (A Framework for Reconstructing Epidemiological Dynamics) is a freely available open-source agent-based modeling system for exploring the spatial and temporal patterns of epidemics.

Funding

This work supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences under MIDAS grant U54GM088491 and by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The funders had no role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the software.

FRED uses open-source census-based synthetic populations that capture the demographic and geographic distributions of the population,including realistic household, school, and workplace social networks.

FRED epidemic models are currently available for every state and county in the United States, and for selected international locations.

You can use this app to see results that are already available or run new simulations with different epidemic and control parameters.

FRED was developed by the University of Pittsburgh Public Health Dynamics Laboratory in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and the school of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

Simulation of the spread of a hypothetical epidemic, first without and then with vaccination of the population:

Instructions:
1. Select your State
2. Select your City
3. Select the level of contagiousness: high, medium, or low
4. Run the simulated epidemic without any vaccination
5. Press Done
6. Run the simulated epidemic again with 50% vaccination to see the difference.
