Background:

Patient portals may support patient engagement, yet they may differ largely in their characteristics.

Objectives:

To compare the Austrian patient portal with 10 portals from six other countries using the TOPCOP Taxonomy.

Methods:

We described the portals using openly available information.

Results:

The Austrian patient portal shows basic functionality but lacks further functions that other portals partly offer.

Conclusion:

Comparing portals using TOPCOP is possible and shows functions to improve usefulness of portals.
