Abstract:
The importance of computer science as a working tool for the health sector is an unquestionable fact in any modern society. EPIDEMO, developed by the authors, can be defined as a set of programs whose main characteristic is its ability to process a given series of data in a totally integrated way, with an epidemiological and statistical approach. EPIDEMO is a program with a good relational database, which allows preliminary statistical analyses of data that can easily be expanded with more specific statistical options, and is compatible with other programs available on the market. It is a useful, accurate and versatile tool that meets the needs of health professionals in the field of epidemiological research.
