Description
Leap Biosystems is a coast-to-coast collective bringing together professionals from fields as diverse as medicine, aerospace, research, and engineering. The company applyies multidisciplinary approaches to create disruptive technologies. Focusing on next generation medical devices, they hope to disrupt the Canadian medical status quo and improve astronaut medical training.
Leap Biosystems develops and tests 2-way communication that projects the participants into each other's spaces. Such communication better supports doctor/patient interactions, providing richer information. While space is one obvious application, another is rural and remote medicine.

First Earth-Orbit communication via holograph with astronaut Mark Pathy on the first commercial mission to the International Space Station led by Axios.
Investigating potential uses of two-way holoportation with Mark Pathy, @AstroDaveMD and the #Ax1 @LeapBio teams aboard the @Space_Station. Lots of potential, especially with remote #healthcare and #space Med. Thanks @CanGeo for allowing us to take a look. @CanGeoEdu pic.twitter.com/HdNXvKIbSv
