Background: Smartphones play a critical role in increasing human–machine interactions, with many advantages. However, the growing popularity of smartphone use has led to smartphone overuse and addiction. This review aims to systematically investigate the impact of smartphone addiction on health outcomes. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to carry out the systematic review. Five electronic databases including Medline, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Scopus were searched to identify eligible studies. Eligible studies were screened against predetermined inclusion criteria and data were extracted according to the review questions. This review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020181404). The quality of the articles was assessed using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies. Results: A total of 27 of 2550 articles met the inclusion criteria. All of the studies were cross-sectional and focused on physical, mental, and neurological health outcomes. The majority of the studies focused on mental health outcomes and consistent associations were observed between smartphone addiction and several mental health outcomes. Anxiety and depression were commonly found to mediate mental health problems. A wide range of physical health sequelae was also associated with smartphone addiction. Furthermore, there was an association between smartphone addiction and neurological disorders. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that there are consistent associations between smartphone addiction and physical and mental health, especially mental health. Social awareness campaigns about smartphone addiction and its impact on physical and mental health are needed. Further studies, especially randomized controlled trials, are warranted to validate the impacts of smartphone addiction.

“…Similarly, the proliferation of sensors, either worn or in mobile devices and living spaces, contributes to the creation of a new landscape for health care services, leading the way for tailor-made interventions [2,3]. According to the International Data Corporation, 1.42 billion smartphones were sold globally in 2018 [4], and by 2020, the number of smartphone users is projected to reach 2.1 billion [5], while the number of sensors connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is forecasted to reach between 30 and 50 billion [6]. In light of these facts, the adoption of new technologies has resulted in an increasing amount of personal data stored across various databases [7,8].…”

BackgroundConnected health has created opportunities for leveraging health data to deliver preventive and personalized health care services. The increasing number of personal devices and advances in measurement technologies contribute to an exponential growth in digital health data. The practices for sharing data across the health ecosystem are evolving as there are more opportunities for using such data to deliver responsive health services.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to explore user attitudes toward sharing personal health data (PHD). The study was executed within the first year after the implementation of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legal framework.MethodsThe authors analyzed the results of an online questionnaire survey to explore the willingness of 8004 people using connected health services across four European countries to share their PHD and the conditions under which they would be willing to do so.ResultsOur findings indicate that the majority of users are willing to share their personal PHD for scientific research (1811/8004, 22.63%). Age, education level, and occupation of the participants, in addition to the level of digitalization in their country were found to be associated with data sharing attitudes.ConclusionsPositive attitudes toward data sharing for scientific research can be perceived as an indication of trust established between users and academia. Nevertheless, the interpretation of data sharing attitudes is a complex process, related to and influenced by various factors.

This article investigates the intricacies and challenges of smartphone addiction, with a special emphasis on children behavior problems and their self-esteem. Moreover, the study investigated mean differences in study variables across demographic variables. This survey study was conducted on the sample of 500 parents (250 mothers& 250 fathers) of children with the age range of 6-13 years by using convenient sampling techniques from different schools located in Rawalpindi and Wah Cantt. Out of 500 parents, 300 parents (192mothers & 108 fathers) were identified as having problem of smartphone addiction by using the cutoff scores (31=males&33=females) on SAS-short version (Kwon, Kim, Cho & Yang, 2013).After this a sample of 300 children (Boys =152, Girls= 148) of identified group of parents were given a set of questionnaires (The Pediatric Symptom Checklist , Murphy et al. 1996, & Rosenberg self-esteem scale ,Rosenberg, 1965). The findings of study revealed the significant positive association between parental smartphone addictions with child behavioral problems. Furthermore, significant negative links between parental smartphone addiction with child self-esteem & child behavioral problems with child self-esteem.
