Alucio™ Unveils New Meeting Features in Beacon to Elevate HCP Engagement

Latest Scientific Exchange Enhancements Improve Meeting Effectiveness and Impact

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28, 2024 -- Alucio™, a fast-growing provider of cloud-based software for the life sciences industry, today announced important enhancements to the presentation mode within Beacon. Beacon is a modern content activation and Healthcare Professional (HCP) engagement platform built specifically for Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs), Medical Affairs professionals, and Market Access teams.

These new presentation-related features include the following:

  • The ability for field users to create and save personalized speaker notes at the slide or page level (in addition to any general notes that may be associated with a document).

  • A discreet sentiment tracker that allows users to quickly record positive or negative attendee reactions to the scientific or medical content that is presented for follow-on reporting and analysis.

  • A unique "drag to zoom" feature that enables presenters to quickly select a specific area in large or very detailed documents, like scientific posters, and have Beacon automatically focus in and magnify the view of that particular section.

  • Additional highlighter shape options to temporarily spotlight key pieces of content within a document, like a point within a chart or graph, to draw viewer attention during a presentation.

  • Various virtual meeting enhancements, tailored for life sciences, that further uplevel the experience of using Beacon with popular video conferencing tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and others.

Users are reacting very positively to these enhancements and the other engagement features in Beacon. In fact, a major biopharma company using the platform, experienced a greater than 60% download rate on materials sent to HCPs from Beacon in 2023 . This compares highly favorably to an average email click rate across industries of about ~2.7% .

"We are very excited to release these new features to further enhance the effectiveness of meetings conducted from Beacon," says Lauren Keyes, Alucio Director of Product Management. "We continue to focus on making the meeting experience on Beacon as easy and impactful as possible."

"MSLs are continually looking for ways to improve our meetings with key opinion leaders and other HCPs both in person and virtually," commented Jane Varian, Director - Medical Science Liaison at Protagonist Therapeutics. "It's great to see these continued enhancements in Beacon to make our scientific engagements more effective to help deepen relationships while remaining compliant."
