Origin

Persimmon Health is a purpose-built offering of Leapfrog Technology Inc. Over a 10 year period, Leapfrog Technology attracted 70% of its customer base from health innovators. We built a strong and loyal referral base because we developed specialists in patient-centric technologies applied to real-life healthcare use cases.

We partnered with a diverse array of healthcare innovators who were challenged to launch and scale specialized solutions. Those solutions required complex data, cloud, UX and interoperability and security development. And we delivered results to over 50 customers to help them Dream, Launch, Grow.

Where we are going

Where we are going

We formed Persimmon to coalesce, strengthen, and amplify our distinctive healthcare engineering competencies to make them more accessible and responsive to you, the healthcare innovator.

We are committed to bringing your vision to reality, and we are passionate about fixing healthcare together with you.

We have selected the metaphor of the Persimmon tree to symbolized our brand promise to our innovator customers.

Our Brand Promise

We've chosen to rally a new brand "Persimmon” that embodies our spirit of innovation to improve health for more people.

Persimmon is a fruit packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and myriad health benefits

Persimmons need time to ripen to reach full sweetness, which recalls the iterative process to find the sweet spot for products we work on.

Persimmons represent longevity and good luck. Puja ceremonies use them in Nepal to celebrate, where hundreds of our team live and work.

The persimmon life cycle, from seed to mature fruiting tree, reminds us of our mission to help health innovators Dream, Launch, Grow.
