How does the United States actually track diseases like COVID-19, measles, or cancer?

In this episode, we break down the major U.S. disease surveillance systems—including NDSS, NHANES, BRFSS, SEER, and vital records—and explain how the CDC’s Data Modernization Initiative is trying to rebuild the nation’s public health data infrastructure after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed major weaknesses.

If you are studying epidemiology, public health, or health data science, understanding these systems is essential.
