Beacon Biosignals

We're excited to announce that Takeda and Beacon Biosignals have entered a strategic collaboration to conduct at-home sleep monitoring to support clinical trials in the Takeda orexin franchise and neuroscience portfolio! Takeda will leverage Beacon's neurophysiology platform, including the FDA-cleared Dreem 3S EEG headband, AI-powered analytics, and clinico-EEG database.   Quantitative sleep data has been historically difficult to collect and analyze at the speed and scale necessary to support clinical development. This collaboration enables Takeda to collect lab-quality sleep data from a patient's home, longitudinally and at-scale, to characterize sleep dysfunction and enable more personalized treatment options. “Takeda is committed to developing life-transforming therapies for areas of highest unmet need, including narcolepsy and other sleep-wake disorders. In partnering with Beacon, we will now have access to real-time, longitudinal sleep data that better reflects the daily burden of living with these disorders,” said Elena Koundourakis, head of the Orexin Franchise Development and Neuroscience Portfolio Strategy at Takeda. “The Beacon Platform will be used to inform our clinical trial designs including defining quantitative, digital endpoints based on objective measures of sleep patterns, which could support more tailored treatment approaches and improve the diagnostic journey for patients.”   We're committed to improving the patient experience and operationalizing at-home sleep endpoints at-scale, and we're thrilled to work with Takeda to pave the way towards novel therapeutic approaches for neurological and psychiatric indications.

HLTH Community Insider at HLTH USA: Revolutionising Sleep Health Through Partnerships 💤🤝 The HLTH Community Insider session on "Pharma Partnerships to Drive Digital Innovation in Sleep," in partnership with Takeda, has set a new benchmark for industry dialogue. Esteemed speakers who led the charge: - Julia Jackson and Sara Sarkey, Takeda - David Matthews, PhD, Beacon Biosignals - Jen Horonjeff, Savvy Cooperative - Chandana Fitzgerald, HLTH Community Key highlights: - Exploring synergies between pharma and tech in sleep innovation - Charting the course for enhanced patient outcomes via strategic collaborations Core insight: The confluence of pharmaceutical expertise and technological prowess is reshaping sleep health. We extend our gratitude to all participants for their invaluable contributions to this pivotal discussion. #HLTHUSA #SleepInnovation #DigitalHealth #HLTH We invite you to continue this critical conversation. How do you envision the future of sleep health innovation? Share your perspectives below. 👇

See you tomorrow at #HLTH2024 where Beacon's David Matthews, PhD will be on stage with Julia Jackson and Sara Sarkey from our Beacon partner Takeda, along with Jen Horonjeff of Savvy Cooperative, for a discussion on supporting #narcolepsy patients with technology innovations in #EEG and #AI, all mediated by Chandana Fitzgerald, President of HLTH Inc. Community. See you soon!

I am proud that in our partnership with Takeda we continue to put the patient first. The burden of the diagnostic journey in narcolepsy and disorders of hypersomnia is often long and overwhelming—marked by delays, multiple tests, and the challenges of navigating traditional sleep labs. Together, we are focused on finding innovative solutions that shorten the time to diagnosis and reduce patient burden. At Beacon Biosignals, we aim to make precision diagnostics more accessible and empowering patients to receive timely, accurate care. With partnerships like this and harnessing our Dreem 3S wearable medical device, we’re reimagining the future of sleep diagnostics to drive real improvements in patient outcomes today. #PatientFirst #NarcolepsyAwareness #narcolepsy #Hypersomnia #Sleep #diagnostics

Congrats to our partners at Cerevance on this important milestone with Merck as they continue advancing the treatments of neurodegenerative, psychiatric and central nervous system disorders!

Standing on the shoulders of giants! A huge congratulations to Dr. John Hopfield and Dr. Geoffrey Hinton for receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics today for their contributions in machine learning! Their foundational work in artificial neural networks unlocked a world of AI applications that has reshaped nearly every field of science and medicine. A few of our team here at Beacon studied with John, and we're proud to play a part in carrying on his and Geoff's legacy by implementing ML models to better characterize neurophysiological signals, diagnose neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disease, and develop new treatments to usher in an era of precision medicine for the brain. #nobelprize #physics #machinelearning #hopfieldnetwork #boltzmannmachine

I was glad to join the World Medical Innovation Forum in Boston recently with many respected leaders representing health care, government, academia and the investment community. For me, the forum reinforced that while we face some challenges, the importance of sustained innovation in the U.S. and the strength of the local health care ecosystem in Massachusetts shouldn’t be underestimated. It was also a pleasure to join Bank of America’s Jason Gerberry and Mass General Brigham’s Allan Goldstein on stage to reflect on our transformation at Takeda and the many exciting things we’re looking forward to at the company. I’m confident we have the right strategy, teams and focus to deliver for patients today and in the future. We’ve made great progress in focusing and advancing our pipeline over the past 10 years, and today we have several assets in late-stage development with great potential. We also discussed how our global culture helps keep us competitive. We’re a Japanese company with a Global Hub in Massachusetts and a presence in more than 80 countries and regions. Our values help create an environment that brings people together and encourages everyone to share unique perspectives. From a personal point of view, I greatly value having nine nationalities and 53% female representation on our executive team.
