Epistemix

Epistemix is a computational modeling company based in Pittsburgh. It builds agent-based simulation software and synthetic population data, with the aim of helping organisations model human behaviour and test interventions before committing to them in the real world. Its technical work spans agent-based simulation, synthetic population generation, data science and scenario planning, supported by in-house public health expertise.

The company's offering centres on the Epistemix platform, which supplies high-resolution population data and the modelling infrastructure to run scenario planning at scale, allowing decision-makers to stress-test strategies in a controlled environment prior to deployment. Alongside it sits agent-based simulation software that models human behaviour, network effects and the downstream impacts of decisions, and synthetic population data used as the substrate for that modelling.

The work is applied across public health, life sciences, healthcare, insurance, consumer industries, government and enterprise strategy. The team combines public health expertise, data science and advanced simulation, with a stated focus on outcomes for decision-makers facing consequential choices that involve human behaviour and network effects.
