2. What does Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. do?

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.


3. What experience does Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. have in HIV/AIDS?

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.


4. Why did Janssen Diagnostics, Inc. enter the electronic health record (EHR) space?

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.


5. Why was LAB TRACKER™ HIV acquired?

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.


6. What is the vision surrounding the acquisition of LAB TRACKER™ HIV?

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.


7. Is AVIGA™ the same product as LAB TRACKER™ HIV?

No. While AVIGA™ maintains many of the core functions and most desirable features that LAB TRACKER™ HIV users valued most, it has been totally redesigned to meet current standards for electronic health records. It includes a more powerful querying and reporting function designed to address the specific needs and challenges of the HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease communities.
