This section should include things like...most of the designs address issue X, but don't address issue Y
Gwendolynn this is your part here. Here put things like how for the touch switch the elderly would like this a lot & for the modular one that each extra module could add more possibilities for extra clients
Compares the solutions we came up with to the base model & the patent search results
