Preventive Medicine actively focuses on the prevention and addressing underlying mechanisms rather than direct disease treatment. Modern research and medicine provides deeper insights into disease mechanisms, opens diagnostic windows for viewing health and disease for the individual and generates metrics for assessing wellness.
