Healthcare access is unequal, and the gaps are growing. Identifying disparities, planning facilities in the right locations, and ensuring vulnerable populations are served are fundamentally spatial challenges. GOAT gives health planners and public authorities the tools to analyse access to medical care with precision and build a clear, evidence-based case for action.
Calculate how well patients can reach hospitals, GP practices, pharmacies, specialist clinics, and care homes by different modes of transport — on foot, by bicycle, by public transit, or by car. GOAT's isochrone and travel time analyses identify underserved areas and support evidence-based decisions about where new facilities are most needed.
Evaluate the spatial suitability of locations for new medical facilities based on population density, demographic structure, existing provision, and multimodal accessibility. GOAT enables planners to compare location options systematically — providing a robust, data-driven foundation for investment decisions and planning applications.
Move from analysis to a finished document without leaving the platform. GOAT's Layouts tool turns maps, accessibility results, and catchment analyses into print-ready reports — for healthcare planning committees, public participation, or applications to regulatory bodies. Add titles, legends, scale bars, and explanatory text, then export polished PDFs or PNGs that make the evidence behind a decision clear to non-specialist stakeholders.
Real analyses built by planners, researchers, and cities — explore what’s possible before you start your own.
Reaching a doctor shouldn't depend on where you live. This map shows travel time to GPs across Stuttgart, reveals the areas left underserved, and suggests where new practices should go.

Travel times to practices, hospitals and rescue stations by car, public transport and on foot, plus gravity-based heatmaps that weight provision against population: the indicators coverage decisions rely on, ready to run with your parameters. Around them sits a full toolbox of GIS and data analysis tools, so you can join your own provider registers without leaving the browser.
Then save the whole thing as a workflow. When the data updates or a boundary changes, run it again. Same method, new result, no rebuilding.
Over 20,000 ready-to-use datasets: population by age, settlement structure, street networks, administrative boundaries. Describe what you need and the catalog finds it, so you can start the analysis instead of procuring data first.
Nothing to install. Built on open-source technologies and open standards, so your data and workflows stay portable.
From one district's on-call planning to state-wide coverage assessment.
