dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the effectiveness of digital wellness software by
attempting to measure the utility of Apple’s Screen Time as a means of curbing
smartphone dependency. It involved following the activities of eight iPhone users
who were encouraged to use and pay attention to Screen Time over the course of a
week. They were interviewed at the start of the process to get a feel of how they
use their phones as well as what knowledge they had about Screen Time, and then
at the end of the process to measure any changes that might have emerged. Each
participant’s Screen Time data was also recorded with screenshots and taken into
account as part of the analysis. The findings showed overall that focused attention
to Screen Time is capable of affecting smartphone usage patterns and helping
iPhone users take control of the way and extent to which they use their devices. | en_US |
