Innovation Research Report Worksheet $($Assignment $4)$

Instructions:

Choose one additional innovation that you researched, other than the Hackensack and Healthvana innovations, to analyze. The analysis report should include a description of the innovation, the type of innovation, an impact comparison, and a brief impact assessment.

Describe the innovation. Describe an innovation, the problem it is designed to solve, and the manner in which it will solve the problem.

Determine the type of innovation. Determine, with justification, whether the innovation is sustaining or disruptive.

Existing solution$($s$).$ Identify at least one existing technology or current practice that is used to address the identified problem. Include a description of its strengths and limitations in resolving the problem. Cite sources that support your evaluation.
