Abstract Introduction: The adoption of regulatory Sandbox Hospitals in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region presents a unique opportunity for innovation and improves healthcare delivery. Sandbox Hospital is a conceptual health facility offering a wide range of medical services while fostering research and innovation within the healthcare facility. Objective: This scoping review aims to identify and analyse the key success determinants of regulatory Sandbox Hospital adoption within the ASEAN context. Methods: Utilizing the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across various databases. Result: A total of 45 literatures were obtained, revealing notable variations in the implementation processes and practices of Sandbox Hospitals among ASEAN countries, highlighting the diverse contexts and healthcare needs across the region. Discussion: Key success factors identified include robust policy frameworks, strong institutional readiness, a vibrant innovation ecosystem, strategic technology investments, continuous learning, and effective scaling up. Policies and entrepreneurs play crucial roles in navigating the political and administrative landscapes that influence adoption. Technological readiness, including interoperability, digital maturity, and cyber-security, is vital for maintaining sandbox integrity. Conclusion: Policy support, institutional capacity, stakeholder engagement, and cultural context significantly influence the implementation and outcomes of Sandbox Hospitals across ASEAN.
