    The Telepsychiatry Centre, Department of Psychiatry, PGIMER is located Level 2A, Nehru Hospital. The Centre has a separate room for video-conferencing (VC) to ensure privacy. The infrastructure for VC includes desktops, laptops and a LED screen for better resolution, with internet connection via the National Knowledge Network (NKN), which is the fastest network.

    Asynchronous

    Store-forward or asynchronous mode of communication uses electronic mail.

    Synchronous

    Synchronous or real-time/ live communication involves two-way interactive transmission and mimics face‑to‑face interviewing and treatment; and most 0commonly uses video-conferencing (VC). Besides one-to-one VC, multi-point VC is being used to deliver group interventions

    See figure 1 showing use of multi-point VC at Telepsychiatry Centre, PGIMER and figure 2 demonstrating the use of multi-media in group sessions.

    About DDTC

    One of the major influences in my training as a psychiatrist was that of Dr. Robert A. Moore of the University of Michigan, USA. He was the Director of Residency Training while I trained there (1963-65).
