At the West Midlands Academic Health Science Network (WMAHSN)’s second annual Celebration of Innovation Awards, the Industry Collaboration Award was given for the successful introduction of the Ask NHS App and its integration with the West Midlands NHS 111 Service.

The awards were established in 2016 to recognise and celebrate the work of individuals and organisations in developing better healthcare and increasing wealth for local people. The ceremony provided a great opportunity to celebrate these achievements from across the region.
107 entries were submitted across the 12 categories, which were assessed by a panel of experts to choose the eventual winner.
Sensely won the Industry Collaboration Award for the Ask NHS mobile app. Ask NHS is a mobile app that provides full technical integration with the West Midlands NHS 111 Clinical Assessment Service, the NHS National Directory of Services (DoS), EMIS Web and NHS Choices.
