Back in November, we put out a call for applications to health care innovators and entrepreneurs. We wanted to hear about innovations, both new and established, leveraging Clay’s theories of Disruptive Innovation to transform health care. 

We recently announced the 2026 winners of this annual Health Care Innovation Spotlight competition.

After reading through many qualified applications, we chose to highlight those that best embody the hallmarks of Christensen’s theories. In the PDF linked below, you’ll learn about the 11 winners. These are innovators worth watching, each working to improve the affordability and accessibility of health care in the United States.
