Case Study

Parkinson’s Patient Finds Better Adherence

For 64-year-old Susan, Parkinson’s Disease resulted in a series of more than 30 falls over a two-year period. But when using spencer in her British Columbia home, the falls stopped for six months.

spencer enabled Susan to take her five medications as prescribed – five times a day – without missing doses. Improving her adherence to 97 percent helped her better manage her Parkinson’s, as well as her hypertension and Ankylosing spondylitis, a rare type of arthritis.

Susan used spencer as part of a 2019 study in collaboration with Catalyst HealthCare and the Canadian Healthcare Authority. Overall adherence

across all participants hit 98 percent, with patient engagement of almost 80 percent as measured by patient responses to questions posed through the spencer device.

And all caregivers responding to surveys reported less burden in helping their loved ones manage their medications.

Using spencer helped Susan make progress on her goals – to prevent falls, get more comfortable speaking, and embark on a more active lifestyle. The evidence? The falls stopped, and the active lifestyle started: She joined a weekly singing group.
