The easy accessibility of smartphones has led to a fivefold increase in their use. People use smartphones almost anywhere, including during travelling and studying. During the global COVID-19 pandemic, the average smartphone screen time has increased from 2.25 to 4.8 hours per day. In India, smartphone usage increased by 68%, and the average screen time increased from 2.42 to 6.9 hours. This dependency on smartphones has led to smartphone addiction. Inappropriate postures during the prolonged use of smartphones can exert adverse effects such as musculoskeletal disorders, digital eye strain, loss of focus and attention.
This study was undertaken to understand the effects of prolonged smartphone utilisation and explored fatigue measurement techniques.
A total of 130 studies examining the effects of smartphone utilisation published in the previous 10 years were identified from the following databases: IEEE, Science Direct, PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar are reviewed. This study was conducted from September 2019 to January 2021.
One in every four adolescents were prone to smartphone addiction, which causes poor mental health. Moreover, India's research on the effects of excessive smartphone usage is limited.
Studies are required to establish the correlation between fatigue levels and smartphone usage patterns.
智能手机的便捷性使得其使用量增加了五倍。人们几乎随时随地都在使用智能手机，包括在旅行和学习时。在全球 COVID-19 大流行期间，智能手机的平均屏幕使用时间已从每天 2.25 小时增加到 4.8 小时。在印度，智能手机的使用量增加了 68%，平均屏幕使用时间从 2.42 小时增加到 6.9 小时。这种对智能手机的依赖导致了智能手机成瘾。长时间使用智能手机时不当的姿势会产生不良影响，如肌肉骨骼疾病、数字眼疲劳、注意力不集中。
本研究旨在了解长时间使用智能手机的影响，并探讨疲劳测量技术。
从 IEEE、Science Direct、PubMed、PubMed Central 和 Google Scholar 等数据库中确定了过去 10 年中发表的 130 项研究智能手机使用效果的研究。本研究于 2019 年 9 月至 2021 年 1 月进行。
每四个青少年中就有一个容易沉迷于智能手机，这会导致精神健康状况不佳。此外，印度对过度使用智能手机的影响的研究有限。
需要进行研究以建立疲劳水平与智能手机使用模式之间的相关性。
