Have you launched a Disruptive Innovation in Health Care?

The Christensen Institute is seeking groundbreaking innovations to spotlight in 2026.

We’ll highlight up to 10 health care innovations that show disruptive potential, and we want to make sure we search far and wide to find the best ones. All innovations will be promoted on the Institute’s channels (e.g., social media, newsletter), and select innovations will be included on the Creating a New Healthcare podcast.

We encourage you to apply and pay the one-time $300 application fee below if one of the three indicators resonates with you:

  • You have an innovation, or you know of one, that shows disruptive potential (this 6-question test can help).
  • You want more people to know about this innovation.
  • You want advice from Christensen Institute leaders on what makes successful innovations.*

Should we consider your company? Or do you know of an innovation we should evaluate? If so, apply today to be recognized by the foremost experts on Disruptive Innovation for your innovation impact!

As one of last year’s winners said: “Wow! This means a lot! The innovation nerd in me feels a little closer to Clay[ton Christensen]. I wish I got a chance to meet him and tell him the impact his teachings have on the way I think as an innovator and as a human…You made my year!”

The deadline to apply is December 15, 2025. We will announce the winners in February 2026 and will contact you prior to that date if you are selected.

*Highlighted innovators will have access to an office hour with Institute President and CEO Ann Christensen and Director of Health Care Research Ann Somers Hogg.
