About Epistemix
Epistemix helps organizations forecast outcomes and manage risk by modeling how people behave. Our platform consists of two core products: Populus, which provides access to realistic, high-resolution synthetic population data, and Polaris, which enables scenario planning through advanced data science and simulation. Together, they empower customers to evaluate the potential impact of strategies before deploying them in the real world.
Organizations across healthcare, consumer industries, insurance, and government use Epistemix to reduce uncertainty, optimize decisions, and accelerate time to value. Whether estimating total addressable market, testing public health interventions, or forecasting behavior change, our tools help teams make confident decisions when preexisting data may not exist.
