In a study inviting 1700 Londoners aged 40-74 without cardiovascular disease, uptake rates for digital Health Check varied, with a standard SMS attracting 12% and shorter SMS reaching 20%. The use of multi-modal reminders, including SMS and postal invitations, significantly boosted participation rates.

A six-arm pragmatic unregistered randomised controlled trial (RCT) showed that uptake varied from 12% with standard SMS to 20% with the shortest SMS, a significant difference (P = 0.009).
