The tech giant and the university’s Center for Digital Mental Health are scheduled to start the research project May 27. The four-week study is open to adult Android users who download the Google Health Studies app.
Researchers plan to study a large, representative sample of people using passive and sensing technology from phone and Fitbit data — with users’ informed consent — to measure well-being indicators like sleep and physical activity.
The study aims to determine the benefits and risks of smartphone use as well as who is most likely to experience them.
