      Johnson & Johnson Global Development’s Innovative Health is re-inventing the clinical trial experience by striving to develop and implement new approaches, novel technologies, and innovative ways of working to help meet the needs of our stakeholders: patients, trial sites/investigators and the healthcare industry at large.

      Using a purposeful combination of processes, tools, skills, behaviors, and expertise, such as process optimization, design thinking and AI/ML enabled insight generation, the Innovation Health function within our Global Development organization – the backbone of drug development at J&J IM – equips the organization with insights on the dynamics and barriers our stakeholders face.

      Some areas of focus include:

      Patient voice in trial design
      By including patients’ input during the early stages of clinical trial development, we are hoping to proactively address potential enrollment and retention challenges. We capture the “patient voice” through a variety of means, including social listening, patient interviews, surveys, and simulated trials.

      Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Clinical Trials (DEICT)
      Historically, some groups of people, including people from different racial and ethnic groups, children, LGBTQIA+ individuals, older adults, people who are pregnant and people who may become pregnant, have been underrepresented in medical research. This means that as healthcare progresses, many may be left behind.

      Ensuring that clinical trials represent the diversity of our society is a critical part to the future of medicine. Our inclusive team of experts tailor and build upon our health equity strategy to make certain that clinical research is accessible to and inclusive of all patients globally through the implementation of novel diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) strategies and initiatives.

      Our Global Clinical Trial Finder is designed to help individuals easily access information on J&J-led clinical trials around the world that are currently accepting new participants. Those interested in enrolling can search for clinical trials by medical condition and geographic location.

      Patient engagement and advocacy
      We are spearheading global advocacy initiatives that elevate J&J through influencing policy, partnerships and publications, and championing health equity across the drug development ecosystem early and systematically. By embedding patient engagement and advocacy at the start of the drug development process, we can better address the needs of our patients.

      Industry collaborations and leadership
      True to our mission to transform clinical trials on a broad basis, we collaborate globally with leading healthcare organizations, technology partners and pharmaceutical companies. We also provide leadership to industry organizations that share in our vision for clinical trial innovation.
