For example, Christensen (1997) hasmade an argument of ‘disruptive innovation’, in which he has claimedthat the primary factor to explain change from existing technicalarrangements to new solutions is in product features. I argue that thisis a lean view of innovation, and I make a case for a richer view, whichI draw from my research on the emergence of mobile health. The last fewyears have seen increasing public talk of mobile technology use inhealth care in many Western countries.
