Our hyper-connected culture is spending more and more time looking at electronic screens, and this is having detrimental effects on our society. ScreenTime is a feature integration concept geared towards the health-conscious user who wants to reduce their exposure to smartphones and increase their activity levels, improve sleep, and be more mindful of their surroundings.
