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.
