In recent years, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) has attracted much attention in the context of smart city development. One of the models of intelligent mobility is car-sharing, a modern and convenient form of renting vehicles through a mobile application. Car-sharing is a solution that can help to mitigate the effects of excessive traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution in cities. In Poland, car-sharing has developed in recent years. To increase its popularity, it is necessary to look at the barriers from the user’s perspective. The presented study is a diagnosis of car-sharing problems based on customer reviews. The reviews were obtained from the Google Play store and cover the applications of Poland’s three largest car-sharing service providers. Descriptive statistics and sentiment analysis were used to identify the problems. The study of users’ comments made it possible to establish that car-sharing has gained tremendous popularity in recent years, reflected in the number of reviews. Moreover, car-sharing services are assessed positively by the majority of users. Women perceive services more positively than men, although they are a minority among car-sharing users. The main problems described in the comments relate to the operation of the application, in particular, the registration of new users and the unclear payment policy.

The internet technology, which began to integrate into our lives rapidly by the end of the 1990s, underwent significant transformations with the advent of mobile technology in the 2000s. Initially accessible through desktop or notebook computers, the internet has evolved to become an integral part of virtually every aspect of our lives as mobile technology advanced throughout the 2000s. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of mobile technologies within current health technologies, investigate the necessary competencies, evaluate mobile technology developments both in Türkiye and globally, and assess the information technology infrastructure, competencies, and skills required by the sector. Our research details various and specific mobile applications from numerous countries. Findings indicate that mobile technology has established itself much more rapidly and effectively in countries with strong internet infrastructure. Mobile health services are perceived as highly valuable by citizens. The real quality and effectiveness of mobile technology depend on its acceptance and swift implementation by users. Gamification is an important tool in the adoption of mobile health applications. These applications can enhance motivation by enabling both doctors to monitor patient care services and patients to track their own health. A good mobile health system should be accepted by both patients and doctors. In countries like Türkiye, where the health system is largely supported by the state, it is seen as necessary for the Ministry of Health to prioritize mobile services to establish a robust mobile health system. Furthermore, to effectively structure mobile services, it is essential to focus on the right problems and identify issues in order of priority. Literature review reveals that various mobile applications have been implemented in fields such as dermatology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and clinical pathology. Mobile technologies offer significant cost advantages in the delivery of health services. As the population ages in European Union countries, national governments are seeking ways to reduce healthcare costs. Mobile health is considered a solution to transform the delivery of health services and reduce costs through viable new care models for both industrialized and developing countries. Moreover, it has been observed that mobile applications provide significant benefits for the elderly, particularly in developed countries such as Germany and Sweden. Our study provides a comprehensive assessment of mobile technology in the healthcare sector, highlights prominent applications from Türkiye and around the world, and offers an extensive evaluation for field readers.
