Johnson & Johnson Innovation Team: AI implementation and product design for consumer-facing applications

Johnson & Johnson Innovation is the innovation arm of Johnson & Johnson. It runs innovation centers and the JLABS incubator network. GrossiWeb supported AI implementation and digital product design for the Johnson & Johnson Innovation Team, including work across 2 kinds of applications, internal and consumer-facing. The consumer-facing applications are the focus of this profile.

The work

The approved scope was AI implementation and digital product design for the Johnson & Johnson Innovation Team, across 2 kinds of applications. Some are used inside the organization. Others are used by consumers.

Consumer-facing applications

A consumer-facing application is judged in seconds. People do not read a manual. They do not know the team behind it. They decide whether to trust it from the first screen. For any consumer product, that trust matters.

In this kind of work we design for the first minute of use. The first screen says what the product does and what happens next. Each step asks for one thing. The language is plain. When AI is part of the experience, the person can see what it is doing and can find a human or a correction path.

Internal applications

Internal applications serve colleagues who use them every day. In internal application work, the design goal is speed and fewer mistakes. We study the task, remove the extra steps and keep the tools that people already rely on. The people who use the application every day shape what we build.

AI implementation

Our way of implementing AI is to choose the right place for it. We look for the task where AI saves real effort and where a person still needs to review the result. Then we build that step into the product so it feels natural. The same thinking applies whether the user is a colleague or a consumer.

Digital product design

In digital product design, we cover the screens, the flows and the words. We map the journey, sketch the key moments and test them with the people who will use them. Then we hand off a design that developers can build without guessing.

How we approach AI and product design for life sciences teams

Life sciences teams work with sensitive information and high expectations. Our method has four parts.

What this means for your project

If your team builds products for patients, customers or the public, the first screen carries the weight of your brand. We design it so people can understand it. We add AI where it helps and leave people in control where it matters.
