Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. is a global Johnson & Johnson Company based in Raritan, NJ, United States and Beerse, Belgium (Janssen Diagnostics, BVBA) committed to personalizing healthcare worldwide. The Janssen Diagnostics team is dedicated to improving patients’ lives, one by one, by making true personalized care the cornerstone of our future healthcare system. Our goal is to think beyond drug treatment and grow as a true solution provider. The Janssen legacy of excellence in Infectious Diseases, Oncology, Neuroscience, Cardiovascular Diseases and Immunology will continue to drive innovation in the fields of Diagnostics Solutions and Health Information Technology, enabling us to reach our goal: to develop care solutions that cater to each individual’s needs.
Janssen Diagnostics' mission is to bring practical, innovative information tools that assist healthcare professionals in making informed treatment decisions and personalize the care of patients with complex conditions like HIV and other infectious diseases. The company provides resistance interpretation through the use of its vircoTYPE™ HIV-1 product as well as education and facilitating access to resistance interpretation worldwide. It has an electronic health record (EHR) business in the U.S., and an R&D program in personalized medicine and companion diagnostics across a number of infectious diseases.
Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. is committed to supporting the HIV/AIDS community and continues to work as a partner with healthcare professionals in this therapeutic area as it did as Virco Lab, Inc. for more than 15 years. Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. continues listen to the challenges and opportunities that clinicians and other healthcare professionals have encountered in treating HIV/AIDS in an effort to consistently enhance the products and services the company provides to better meet the needs of the HIV/AIDS community.
In December 2009, Virco (now Janssen Diagnostics, Inc.) acquired LAB TRACKER™ HIV, a customizable electronic health record (EHR) from Ground Zero Software. The product has been completely redesigned using insights from healthcare professionals immersed in HIV care to meet today and tomorrow’s clinical needs, and to ensure it meets Meaningful Use requirements. AVIGA™ and AVIGA REPORTER™ are natural extensions of the Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. overall product line and commitment to its core mission and values: to support HIV healthcare professionals with integrated information from multiple sources to effectively manage their patients living with HIV/AIDS.
EHRs offer several advantages for general patient management and are particularly useful for complex diseases, such as HIV, which often have a multitude of test results, analyses, and co-morbidities. The acquisition of LAB TRACKER™ HIV is a natural extension of our overall product line and lends to the Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. commitment to save and improve patients’ lives, through the integration and delivery of differentiating diagnostic and health IT solutions into world-class personalized disease management.
With the acquisition of LAB TRACKER™ HIV, our vision is to further assist HIV clinicians in optimizing treatment decisions for their patients by providing an efficient solution for organizing, analyzing, and evaluating healthcare information from multiple sources in a single convenient and easy to use location. We aspire to develop new products and services in other therapeutic areas by leveraging our experience in affordably analyzing and evaluating patient data that makes optimizing medical solutions timely and actionable.
