| ### Stage 1: Matrix analysis | ||
|
|
||
| We developed a Matrix to measure and better understand the details of assessments in relation to ten key categories. This process established whether the assessment in question is something we could take forward for further consideration. The evaluation criteria are consistent for each category and an overall conclusion is drawn for each as high, medium, low or positive and negative. |

I think the list could do with an Oxford comma:
high, medium, low, or positive and negative.

| Evidence strongly confirms that offering health checks to patients contributes to reducing health risks. | ||
|
|
||
| However, we don't sufficiently understand what types of checks would provide the most benefit to patients if offered as a digital self‑assessment. It is also unclear if providing healthcare professionals (HCPs) with a choice between digital and in‑person assessments would add value. |

| ### Spoke to experts | ||
|
|
||
| Regular consultations with internal technical and clinical subject matter experts (SMEs), explored clinical feasibility, safety, and what is likely to resonate with healthcare professionals, as well as considering technical possibilities and constraints. We also gathered insights from providers of health assessments, digital tools, and biometric tests. |

Sentence starting 'Regular consultations' is quite long. Would suggest:
Regular consultations with internal technical and clinical subject matter experts (SMEs). Explored clinical feasibility, safety, and what is likely to resonate with healthcare professionals. As well as considering technical possibilities and constraints. We also gathered insights from providers of health assessments, digital tools, and biometric tests.

| ### Desk research | ||
|
|
||
| Reviewing the NHS Health Check Online discovery and alpha reports, analysed NICE guidelines, NHS and DHSC policy documents (for example, Core20Plus5, NHS Long Term Plan, Digital Prevention Strategy), and studied public health literature, independent pilot studies, and past user research. |

Could this be a bulleted list instead?

Something like this?
Reviewing the NHS Health Check Online discovery and alpha reports, analysed NICE guidelines, NHS and DHSC policy documents, for example:
- Core20Plus5
- NHS Long Term Plan
- Digital Prevention Strategy
We also studied:
- public health literature
- independent pilot studies
- past user research

I think 'reviewing', 'analysing' and 'studying' are pretty synonymous. I'd suggest:
We reviewed:
- NHS health check online discovery and alpha reports
- NICE guidelines
- NHS and DHSC policy documents (for example, Core20Plus5, NHS Long Term Plan, Digital Prevention Strategy)
- public health literature
- independent pilot studies
- past user research
But I think what you've suggested is an improvement on what's currently written. If you're not a fan of the combined list.
