Experiments
Change Challenges
Our efforts are designed to test new approaches and innovations and need to be bold to impact change. In determining the experiments, the Mission Leapfrog teams seek areas of change that can address equity and accessibility to healthcare in a sustainable way.
To operationalise experiments, it is critical for us to overcome cultural barriers, adopt new technologies, secure support from health authorities and engage partners within the healthcare ecosystem to adopt the technologies to help the communities in need. Learn more about the approach here and how we are engaging communities in two countries below.
In doing so, they are collaborating with ecosystem partners to identify not just where needs can be immediately met, but also where changes disrupt convention and build capabilities for the future. This collaboration between companies and individuals passionate about collectively bringing their networks, skills and capabilities to improve health outcomes and healthcare delivery.

The goal of the Mission Leapfrog experiment in Thailand is to engage with ecosystem partners to improve health outcomes for the population of elderly women in urban environments that are at high risk for cancer but experience significant isolation and hardships. Our ambition is to harness technology to share clinical information across a network using telemedicine, so we can deliver better healthcare for this population. This ability to bring treatment options from the hospitals to the communities where these women live would be a leapfrog in impact for these women and healthcare delivery in the country overall.
