Software

BodyViewer   mapping software for use in the field of health. Provided by GeoHealth.
Epi Info 2000 epidemiologists and other public health and medical professionals can rapidly develop a questionnaire or form, customize the data entry process, and enter and analyze data.  Epidemiologic statistics, tables, graphs, and maps are produced with simple commands such as READ, FREQ, LIST, TABLES, GRAPH, and MAP. 
Epi Info 6 allows rapid setup of new entry forms and data files, easily customized data entry, and many data management and analysis tech.
Epi Map 2 displays counts or rates on geographic maps supplied or drawn on the screen. Colors, shading, dots, or noncontiguous cartograms can be used to show any type of numeric data related to map boundaries.

HealthMap joint WHO/UNICEF Programme. The Programme was initially created in 1993 to establish a GIS to support management and monitoring of the Guinea Worm Eradication Programme.
PatientAccess  mapping software for use in the field of health. Provided by GeoHealth.
SaTScan software analyses spatial, temporal and space-time point data using the spatial, temporal, or space-time scan statistic. The program may also be used for similar problems in other areas such as biology, zoology, ecology, archeology, history, economics, geography, geology, and astronomy.
