The LTE investigates the health-related costs and implications of prolonged screen use, emphasizing the urgent need for intervention. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the detrimental effects of excessive screen exposure on physical and mental health, highlighting increased risks of obesity, sleep disorders, and depression. The study reveals that unmanaged symptoms of excessive screen time led to an estimated $151 billion loss in the US health system, worker well-being, and productivity in 2023. It underscores the importance of adopting healthy digital habits and responsible screen use to mitigate these adverse effects. Additionally, the letter emphasizes the broader economic and health impacts of uncontrolled screen time, which could influence legislative decisions and promote behavioral changes for a healthier digital future.
