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 and that’s exactly what Beacon Biosignals is hoping to deliver.
Beacon Biosignals has developed an AI-powered EEG platform designed to better measure and understand brain activity. Its technology includes a lightweight wearable headband that tracks brain signals during sleep and at home, feeding huge amounts of real-world data into machine-learning models. The aim is to help researchers analyze brain activity faster, identify new biomarkers, and improve the development of treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The company recently raised major funding and acquired home sleep testing specialist CleveMed as it expands its AI-powered brain health platform. Its FDA-cleared wearable headband is already being used in more than 40 clinical trails studying conditions like depression, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and sleep disorders. By collecting millions of hours of brain activity data, Beacon hopes to help researchers detect diseases earlier and better understand how the brain changes over time.
