Concept of Telepreventive Medicine Telepreventive medicine Inexpensive Low to High bandwidth systems designed to reach large numbers of healthy people to prevent disease. “Teaches local people to fish” through empowering the local teachers. Supercourse utilizes this approach to reach to the global faculty. Telemedicine Expensive High bandwidth systems designed to reach small numbers of sick people to cure disease.
