Utilizing Time Plots in Vesta (Including Video Demo)
Temporal trends are central in many fields—from epidemiology, economics, policy to environmental science. Being able to track how a variable changes over time, and link that change back to space or other covariates, is powerful. In BioMedware’s Vesta software, time...
Why Your GIS Tools Are Missing Critical Trend Shifts (And What to Do About It)
When analyzing datasets that evolve across time and geography—disease outbreaks, environmental changes, demographic shifts—most researchers face a fundamental limitation: their tools force them to choose between temporal analysis or spatial analysis, but not both...
What Is Geospatial Analysis?
In an era of rapidly expanding data and ever-shifting landscapes—both physical and digital—the ability to make sense of where things occur, when they occur, and why they occur has become ever more critical. That’s the realm of geospatial analysis: a set of tools,...
Exclusive Webinar: Modeling Change Over Space and Time with Vesta
When analyzing data that changes across both time and geography, most researchers face a critical challenge: identifying exactly when and where significant trend shifts occur. Traditional GIS tools force you to choose between temporal analysis or spatial analysis—but...

Geospatial Analysis in the Hunt for Blue Zones
What Are Blue Zones? Imagine living in a place where people routinely celebrate their 90th or even 100th birthday while remaining active and vibrant. These exceptional regions, where longevity isn't an anomaly but a community norm, are known as Blue Zones. First...
BioMedware Awarded Grant Renewal From The National Library of Medicine
We’re excited to announce that Principal Investigator Pierre Goovaerts and BioMedware have been awarded a year three renewal of the grant titled “Geostatistical Software for Non-Parametric Geostatistical Modeling of Uncertainty” from the National Library of Medicine. ...
Tracking and Analyzing Antimicrobial-Resistant Infections in Vesta
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global health, with bacterial resistance leading to increased mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher medical costs. The Lancet's recent publication highlights the escalating burden of AMR,...
How Vesta Protects Your Data: Security & Privacy Overview
In our latest workshop hosted by NAACCR, we received valuable feedback from our participants and suggestions on how to improve Vesta for our users. Participants requested that our team explicitly describe Vesta’s data security policy. We’re committed to keeping...
What Is a Geographic Information System?
Every time you check your weather app, navigate with GPS, or track a package on its journey to your doorstep, you’re using the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). While most people interact with GIS daily without even realizing it, this behind-the-scenes...
