EVALRI research & applications

Gaming & digital media

Gaming, streaming, and digital platforms can influence sleep timing, vigilance, mood, social interaction, and daily functioning. These effects cannot be understood from engagement metrics alone.

EVALRI develops structured assessments that examine patterns of use together with sleep, mental health, physical health, behavior, and functional outcomes. Population comparisons and longitudinal follow-up can help distinguish high engagement from clinically meaningful burden.

The resulting evidence can support responsible product evaluation, risk identification, user-safety strategies, and research into both potential harms and potential social or cognitive benefits.
