- Option to support alliance management responsibilities with Clinical Research Organizations, establishing and fostering relationships with strategic partners
Our take
The brain has long been considered one of the most mysterious fields of medicine - and psychiatric and neurological diseases therefore one of the least understood. Better access to real-time brain data, however, could change this. That’s exactly what Beacon Biosignals is hoping to deliver.
Beacon Biosignals has developed a scaleable electroencephalogram (EEG) analytics platform that leverages AI to more accurately and insightfully manage brain data. Its capabilities run from analysing existing data, to identifying and standardizing neorobiomarkers, to continuously aggregating and analyzing trial data.
The hope is that this will help clinical brain researchers carry out faster and more accurate work, ultimately accelerating the pace of treatment development in neurology. It’s a smart new AI application, and Beacon Biosignals is acquiring new companies to scale and receiving handsome funding - but for that reason the company isn’t alone in pursuing it. Bitbrain is also developing neurology AI, although with a tighter focus on product development. This may help differentiate Beacon Biosignals in what is still a relatively new market area.
