Winner: 160 Characters Award

Date posted: 23 Jun 2011

Another day another award eh?!

We seem to be on a roll now, the story of Florence is getting out to the world and it’s the stories of how patients are finding a better quality of life that really grabs attention.

160 Characters is the SMS and Mobile Messaging Association and the award was for Effective use of Messaging for Health, they also gave us a “Highly Commended” in the Innovation in Messaging category.

The awards website is here.

The system may indeed be simple to use and cheap to roll out, but just one story of a patient being able to get out of the house again, maybe to visit friends or family or sometimes just to nip out to the shops, simple pleasures that you or I take for granted. That’s what Florence has given back to patients and that’s the real award for us.
