Episode notes
We measure screen time with precision, but we don't measure its health impact. Road deaths, hearing loss, myopia—statistics exist, but attribution to digital devices is missing. ICD-10 has a code for digital distraction, yet it's almost never used. Meanwhile, research on mobile health is dwarfed by other fields. The data exists. The will doesn't.
And Erin Rodgers shines The Spotlight on something concrete.
