NAT IONAL DIALOGUE FOR
Healthcare Innovation
Care4Today ®
Organization Overview
• Janssen Healthcare Innovation (JHI) is an entrepreneurial
group within Janssen, the Pharmaceuticals
Companies of Johnson & Johnson
• The vision of JHI is to transform healthcare delivery
by connecting, supporting, and empowering patients
and providers
• The JHI team operates as an innovation engine,
developing scalable tools that improve outcomes
Background
Janssen was formed in 2011, shortly after the Affordable
Care Act was signed into law. The group’s focus is to
create cutting-edge, patient-centered health offerings,
such as the Care4Today ® brand and associated tools,
to deliver value-based care.
Digital technologies for chronic disease management
have been a key focus area for the JHI group, because
of the unmet needs of this patient population and the
high costs associated with poor adherence. Approximately
50% of patients with chronic illnesses do not
take their medications as prescribed. In the U.S., medication-related
hospitalizations, including admissions
due to poor medication adherence cost the healthcare
system approximately $300 Billion per year.
Program Details
The Care4Today ® platform enables better connectivity
and pathway transparency between chronic care
patients, their healthcare teams, and their caregivers.
These products also empower patients to take a leading
role in managing their own healthcare.
The Mobile Health Manager platform was launched
in 2012 to help patients improve adherence, increase
engagement, and enhance efficiency of care. Mobile
Health Manager is available to patients as a secure
website and mobile application.
Key features of the platform include:
• Medication adherence reminders, which can be
sent to the patient and/or family members
• Healthcare provider dashboard, which organizes
all patient self-reported data into one location
and provides real-time visibility into these metrics
for providers
• Secure messaging platform to enable direct communication
between patients and providers
Several techniques were used in designing the technology
platform including care pathway mapping, new
product feature assessment, human factor design
testing, and patient and provider usability testing.
