We must differentiate
telepreventive medicine from telemedicine. Telemedicine is designed to “cure” and it
is expensive, it is unlikely that telemedicine can have any effect on global health. In
contrast with telepreventive medicine we can reach millions with the prevention message.
We have the potential to continue to improve global health. Supercourse is one of the
examples of how important telepreventive medicine is at reaching big numbers of people
with low costs. Golden lecture is a
perfect tool for distribution of important information through the systems of
telepreventive medicine. It utilizes inexpensive low bandwidth systems to reach millions
of people. |
