The telemedicine process has evolved greatly in the past few years and has experienced various modes of connectivity.
Point to Point System (P2P) – A single patient end connect to a single specialist medical practitioner within the connected hospital. In networking the P2P protocol is a data link protocol generally utilized to create a direct connection between two nodes over terrestrial and satellite link. Example of this kind of connectivity is how the SGPGIMS at Lucknow is linked to the medical colleges of Orrisa through P2P connectivity via satellite link and District Hospital, Raibareilly via fibre optic cable network.
Point to Multi Point System (P2MP) – In this form of connectivity, a single patient end at a time is linked to any of the specialist medical practitioners’ end within the connected hospital. P2MP is generally utilized in wireless internet and IP Telephony via gigahertz radio frequencies. These systems are both as single and bi-directional systems. Example of this kind of connection is how two District Hospitals of Uttaranchal are linked to SGPGIMS via an ISDN link.
Multi Point to Multi Point System (MP2MP) – In this form of connectivity, more than one patients’ end is simultaneously linked to different medical practitioners’ end at various hospitals spread across geographical locations.
