From Detection to Decision: Modernizing Biosurveillance for Early Action
June 22, 2026
28ABCDE
Type: Engagement Day Session
Effective preparedness begins with timely detection. Surveillance data plays a critical role in informing early medical countermeasure research and development, helping to identify priority threats, guide platform investments, and accelerate decision-making before an outbreak escalates. This panel will explore how the U.S. government is strengthening biosurveillance systems to identify emerging threats earlier and translate data into actionable decisions on research and development priorities. Panelists will discuss integration across public health, national security, and international surveillance networks, the role of advanced analytics and data sharing, and opportunities for industry to support next-generation detection capabilities.
