It seems the major disadvatnage of the proposed beacon representation of treatment is that it is difficult to represent multiple time/age ranges of treatment, e.g.,
propranolol
2020-03-01 to 2020-04-01
and then
atenolol
2020-04-02 to 2020-04-27
since there is only a duration. It is also unusual to speak of "ageAtOnset" for a treatment.
