Environmental Public Health Tracking: More Than Data
CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Program uses data science to provide quality data and information on many health and environmental topics through its flagship product, the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (Tracking Network). But Tracking is more than just a data system! The Tracking Program’s interdisciplinary team of experts provides technical assistance to other programs looking to create their own tools and resources, offering them the power of Tracking’s methods and resources.

The Tracking Program’s data science methods, expertise, and technology resources make data easier to understand and use for the improvement of community health. Here are a few examples of public health data resources that are Powered By Tracking.
Info By Location
Tracking’s Info By Location tool allows you to create a personalized infographic for health and environment in your county. This tool uses Tracking’s API (Application Program Interface) to present environmental health in a different, easy to understand format. The Tracking Network API allows developers, within Tracking or beyond, to pull any of the Tracking Network data and integrate it into new tools, like Tracking’s Enviro Health App Challenge winners.
