Streszczenie

Abstract: The WebRTC-based telemedicine framework represents a significant advancement in NATO’s (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) pursuit of interoperability and effective healthcare delivery. Building upon STANAG 2517 (Standardization Agreement), the framework addresses challenges posed by incompatible systems and fragmented communication through a web-based, real-time collaboration platform. The aim of the interoperability tests was practical verification of the Polish WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) implementation according to NATO requirements, including data security. Demonstrated successfully at CWIX 24 (Coalition Warrior Interoperability Exercise), where eight NATO nations achieved interoperability, this solution ensures secure, scalable, and efficient medical support across multinational operations.
