Boffins worry that smartphones stuff up your mental health Use Google Health App to prove it The University of Oregon in the US have partnered with Google to launch a research on how smartphone use impacts mental wellbeing. The researchers are using Google Health app to explore the benefits and risks associated with the use of smartphones. Writing in a Google blog post, Nicholas Allen, Professor, at the University's Center for Digital Mental Health said that mental health has become even more urgent during the Covid-19 pandemic as so many people have turned to digital technology to maintain some semblance of their lifestyle. The new research will "uncover insights that help us all build a future where digital products may support us in living healthier, happier lives", Allen said. The findings will help "the research community and technology industry to pursue evidence-based product design, education and policy aimed at maximising benefits and minimising risks", he added. https://fudzilla.com/news/54909-boff...-mental-health |
