Abstract: Abstract The project “MoPo gesund—Mobilitätsportal für das Gesundheitswesen” (MoPo sane—mobility portal for the health care centers) is an example of a smart mobility system that provides a solution for flexible and networked mobility in order to improve the accessibility to health centers, especially for rural areas. Essential facilities of the health services (clinics, medical specialists, etc.) are located at the middle-order and/or higher-order regional centers with high traffic. In the era of the advanced Telemedicine (Projekt-Telepflege, 2019), outpatient and inpatient stay in health care facilities will continue to be indispensable in the frame of health care and services of general interest. A web-based and a mobile portal will be used to collect the mobility needs of patients, visitors, and employees with no or restricted individual mobility options (older people, young people without driving licenses, socially disadvantaged people) and connect them to sustainable mobility alternatives. The portal will offer a clearly defined regional backdrop with “mobility endpoints” that can be clearly located from a geographical location. The consideration of such system boundaries has significant advantages. Providing the necessary mobility services would be difficult if the sources and destinations of the paths covered by rural residents are weakly concentrated or widely dispersed. This project will concentrate the mobility endpoints onto various healthcare facilities.
