FAQs
What is the spencer® smart hub?
The program includes the use of a medication smart hub called spencer that may help you take your medication as prescribed by your doctor.
You will receive your prescription medication in individual pouches, all packed in a box which should be stored in your spencer device. When it is time to take your medication, spencer will “beep” to alert you. After you get the alert reminder, you push a button on spencer’s screen and your medication pouch is dispensed to you through the device. You will then see a follow-up question on the screen, which you can answer through the device.
Your answers help us understand how you are doing. spencer will automatically record that you’ve taken your medication as prescribed.
