Alzheimer’s

After decades of commitment to understanding this neurodegenerative disease, company scientists have developed innovative therapies and tools that can potentially slow its progression and ease the psychological toll on patients and caretakers. A cure is still elusive—but preventing the disease may be within reach.

A treatment for an incurable cancer. Catheters to better diagnose and treat AFib. A surgical stapler that’s easier to use. These are just some of the Johnson & Johnson advances that are helping improve the health of people everywhere.
