The spencer device sits in the patient’s home as the smart hub of the connected health network. For care management teams helping patients with chronic and rare diseases, spencer’s telehealth and data collection features help reduce uncertainty about the patient’s medication adherence. And patients have more peace of mind knowing spencer is keeping them connected to clinicians and caregivers.

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.
Spencer Features
spencer supports ePRO and real-world evidence by giving patients an easy-to-use platform to respond to care team questions. spencer’s high level of engagement helps ensure that useful patient information – including their perceptions of whether their condition is improving or getting worse – is acted upon by clinicians.
spencerCare is a clinical hub that provides insights on medication dispensing, health surveys, and Bluetooth connections. Bluetooth-enabled health monitoring devices collect health data, such as blood pressure and glucose levels. These insights provide clinicians the real-time information they need to help guide outreach to patients.
spencer’s telehealth connection is the lifeline that supports patients and clinicians, making it easy to address patient questions or concerns. Telehealth helps improve patient engagement and reduce the number of in-person office or clinic visits.
Medications come prepackaged from Spencer pharmacy partners in a self-contained refill that drops right into spencer. To help patients avoid confusion, it shows pictures of the pills to be taken. If the patient plans to be away, medications can be dispensed in advance through Meds on the Go.
