BEAM Diagnostics, Inc. is founded on the concept that self- control failure underlies a wide range of negative health, safety, and financial behaviors. As the first of many applications, BEAM has chosen to focus on alcohol misuse by developing BEACON, an app that generates a patient’s reinforcer pathology score (RPscore) as a quantitative measure of alcohol misuse severity to a clinician in under 4 minutes. BEACON addresses many limitations present in current substance-use screening by saving time, reducing stigmatization, and promoting preventative screening for a debilitating disease.
