  1. Grand Challenge: Telepreventive Medicine Prevention Knowledge on Demand • Any Time • Any Place • Any One

  2. Global Health Network 9250 Prevention Faculty from 151 Countries www.pitt.edu/~super1/

  3. Changing Life Expectancy Life expectancy has risen more in the past 40 years than in the last 4000Wolfenson, World Bank

  4. Louis Pasteur "When meditating over a malady, I never think of finding a remedy, but, indeed a means to prevent it"

  5. The Health Gains are the Result of: Prevention

  6. Preventionis Information Sharing

  7. If Cars Developed as Same Pace as IT 100,000 km/hr 250,000 km/liter Cost = $5.00

  8. Telepreventive Medicine Inexpensive Low bandwidth systems designed to reach large numbers of healthy people to prevent disease. If institutionalized would be sustainable, and likely lead to improved global health.

  9. Grand Challenge: Teleprevention • Network everyone in Prevention • Global Monitoring of disease • Build connections across bandwidth, from Neighborhoods to Internet2 • Build a corpus of easily usable Prevention Information • Reach the Unreached

  10. Human Networks Across sectors Ramachandran LaPorte Browne India Ghana Uni. Pgh Wang MOH China Shubnikova Russia Sudan

  11. Grand Challenge: Teleprevention • Network everyone in Prevention • Global Monitoring of disease • Build connections across bandwidth, from Neighborhoods to Internet2 • Build a corpus of easily usable Prevention Information • Reach the Unreached

  12. General Motors sold 2,542,455 Automobiles World Wide

  13. 99 Billion Sold

  14. NCDs • What is the incidence of head injuries? • What is the incidence of CHD? • What is the incidence of Cancer? Nobody Knows
