What’s the problem

  • Adolescents in Southern California spend ~7–9 hrs/day on screens outside school.

  • 35%+ report sleep loss and social fatigue.

  • Overuse correlates with anxiety, attention loss, and social detachment.

Our approach

  • Data-first: surveys + Screen Time to build a Digital Balance Index (DBI).

  • School programs: a 5-day Digital Balance Week with simple, high-impact routines.

  • Public interest: open resources and policy-aligned advocacy.

Who we are

  • Founder: Eric Hu — a student researcher building data-driven tools that help schools measure and improve digital balance.

Digital wellness isn’t zero-screens—it’s rational, evidence-based use.
