Company profile

researched Sep 2026

CuePath Innovation is a Vancouver, British Columbia-based developer of medication adherence monitoring technology. Its flagship product, the CuePack, is a printed-electronic smart sticker (marketed as CueStickers) that attaches to standard pharmacy blister packs and automatically records the date and time each blister cavity is opened. Data is transmitted to CuePath's cloud gateway and synchronized with clinical trial management software, and the company states that no identifying patient information passes through its servers.

The technology is positioned for clinical researchers running large, distributed, placebo-controlled drug trials, particularly those involving controlled substances or high-value pill-based drugs, and was designed initially for addiction and pain management studies. It replaces participant self-reporting, reduces the need for daily witnessed ingestion and in-clinic visits, supports adverse event monitoring, and is intended to help detect and prevent diversion of controlled substances. CuePath provides customizable data exports and integration with platforms such as REDCap and other third-party systems.

At its 2015 founding the company pursued a different application of the same core idea: an internet-connected pill box and mobile app intended to help seniors and their caregivers manage complex medication regimens, integrated into pharmacy workflow using blister packaging patients were already familiar with.

Business model

CuePath sells its connected medication-packaging technology to clinical research buyers — contract research organizations, trial sponsors and academic research centres — deploying CuePack/CueSticker hardware alongside a cloud data service that feeds adherence data into the customer's clinical trial management system. Earlier, the company positioned the same blister-pack monitoring concept as a consumer/caregiver medication reminder and monitoring service distributed through pharmacies, and described bootstrapping through initial pilots before raising angel capital from a strategic partner.

▸Full profile — history

History

The company was launched in Vancouver, B.C. in 2015 by Victor Lesau and Ivan Spogreev and spent its early period validating the product through interviews with prospective customers and building prototypes. In 2017 it took part in the Techstars Seattle accelerator class, with an early team including engineers Yagnik Vadher and Walt Sacuta and product marketing manager Jeff Nider, and planned U.S. pilot rollouts in the Seattle region. The product focus later shifted from senior medication management toward clinical trial adherence monitoring, with the CuePack smart sticker deployed in the Canadian ASCME methamphetamine use disorder treatment trial and a stated 2025 objective of expanding partnerships across North American mental health and substance use research communities. Jennifer Thompson is listed as interim CEO, with Sharon Shi as VP Finance and Daisy Lee as VP, Global Manufacturing.
