The article presents research indicating that digital screening methods can effectively increase uptake among lower-risk populations. Utilizing randomized controlled trials with various SMS messaging strategies, findings demonstrated that shorter messages and combined reminders enhance participation in health checks. Notably, using a postal reminder yielded the highest increase in uptake. Emphasizing the potential of a mixed-modality approach, findings suggest that incorporating digital tools alongside traditional methods can escalate health screening rates from 50% to 60%. The use of agile methodologies in developing these outreach strategies allows for rapid adjustments based on participant feedback.
Uptake varied from 12% (standard SMS) to 20% (shortest SMS), indicating that more concise SMS invitations can encourage higher participation rates in digital health checks.
The first SMS reminder increased uptake by +3%. The postal reminder was twice as effective as the SMS reminder, demonstrating the importance of message mode on engagement.
Adding digital care to in-person care may raise uptake from 50 to 60%, suggesting a hybrid model could significantly enhance public health screening participation.
Agile evaluations can rapidly improve invitation systems by responding to participant feedback, thereby increasing efficiency in health screening uptake.
