Chief Medical Officer, MedTech & External Innovation at Johnson & Johnson; Board of Directors, Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC)
In today's healthcare landscape, there is an abundance of information empowering patients to actively shape their own healthcare journeys. This empowerment presents an incredible opportunity, as well as a significant responsibility, for us to develop solutions that truly center around patients. At the European #MedicalDeviceSummit in Berlin, a little over a week ago, I had the privilege of discussing how Johnson & Johnson is advancing its commitment to patient-centered innovation. At #JNJ, our approach starts with listening to all stakeholders – patients, healthcare professionals, regulators, and others – and integrating their perspectives into every stage of product development and evaluation. By capturing and understanding these perspectives, we can move purposefully and swiftly to address the world’s toughest healthcare challenges. For instance, we're working on generating regulatory-grade real-world evidence to enhance patient access and decision-making; we collaborated with Ariadne Labs to develop the Device Briefing Tool; and we are taking a unique approach to quantifying benefit-risk assessments for surgeon and patient benefit. These are just a few ways we're delivering impact for patients. Additionally, bioethics is the cornerstone of our work within #JNJ’s Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO) and plays a critical role in navigating complex ethical challenges. See comments section below for more information on these important initiatives. Events like the #EMDSummit offer invaluable opportunities for industry-wide collaboration and idea exchange. Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of patients who rely on quality care for their health and well-being. I'm grateful for the insightful discussions at the summit and remain optimistic about the future of patient-centered care in #MedTech. #myCompany
