J&J MedTech continues to engage MedTech Color and MedTech Color Collaborative to implement strategic initiatives to improve representation in clinical research, build a diverse clinical workforce, and drive innovation and growth to serve patients of diverse backgrounds. J&J MedTech participates on several committees shaping MedTech Color Collaborative’s DEI activities in clinical trial research and product development. For example, the Recruitment and Retention Subcommittee developed best practices resources on the recruitment and retention of minority patients and investigators for medical device clinical investigations while the Disease State Awareness Subcommittee launched the Heart-to-Heart Program to help remove structural barriers that lead to health disparities in the care and treatment of women of color.
