Built on Proven Principles
Sprezie’s platform is built on evidence-based principles that produce long-term behavioral change. Independent studies found that those who use Sprezie are twice as likely to achieve long-term success in their goals.
Founded on Behavioral Change Principles
Personal Application
The questions, schedule and messages are specific to the participant’s lifestyle and needs.
People of Influence
Friends, family and professionals provide support by leaving messages which are automatically delivered by Sprezie.
Manageable Goals
Unique questions during each call transform goals into manageable tasks and time frames.
Accountability
Each call or text provides the participant an opportunity to report their effort and success.
Moment-of-Decision Support
Participants set their personal schedules to receive calls when they need them most.
Self-Awareness
Consistently measuring effort and routines raises self-awareness and helps the person self correct.
Consistent Measurement
Data collection occurs daily at the moment people are making real decisions.
Positive Recognition
Personal messages recorded by friends, family and others are a powerful, positive, motivating force.
Backed by Research
Sprezie research was conducted with forensic populations because recidivism provides a clear measure of behavior change.
In a Random Control Trial of 256 juvenile offenders, researchers found that, "those who answered more calls were less likely to be rearrested and significantly less likely to have a felony rearrest.”
A Research-proven Behavior Change Approach
Reinforce Goals
“The phone-coach program contributes to the rehabilitation process by monitoring and reinforcing the goal-setting process. Regular phone calls appear to facilitation change by creating positive behavioral intentions and holding people accountable to the decisions they made when they set meaningful personal goals.”
Build Self Esteem
“The messages build self-esteem and provide assurance that behavior change is possible. An ideal way to boost the participants’ self-esteem is to help them experience success. when the participants are achieving their goals, each phone call provides another opportunity to experience success.”
Provide Efficient Follow-up
"Research has demonstrated that aftercare is a crucial component to treatment, yet it is often overlooked… The phone mentor program provides a low-cost method of aftercare by encouraging participants and providing support when they are most at risk. Contact and encouragement can be timed to come at the most vulnerable times to strengthen a participant’s resolve.”
The Evidence You Need to Prove Your Program Works
Low Maintenance Data Collection
Sprezie collects data in real-time. Research on smoking cessation finds that people who are asked why they smoked during the week provide considerably generic answers compared with people who are asked the same question just after extinguishing a cigarette (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983). Sprezie collects data about an event as close in time as possible to the event.
The data is collated in real-time reports and provides long-term evidence of a person's success. Accessing the data is easy through your secure online account. The reports provide ongoing evidence about the success of your program. When your clients use Sprezie, you can genuinely prove the impact of your program over time.
Proactive, Automatic Client Support
Research in the United States, England and the Netherlands has demonstrated that phone coaching helps people overcome addictions, stop smoking, promote physical activity and encourage people suffering from depression.
Studies found that computerized calls have a positive effect at a much lower cost than live calls. In a Stanford study, Researcher Abby King found that over a 12 month period, exercise levels for a group receiving computerized calls increased from 78 minutes per week to 157, an increase of 201%. People receiving live phone calls for the same period increased from 100 minutes per week to 178, an increase of 178%. Sprezie automatically contacts your clients on their schedule to track their progress.
