This data looks into factors such as time, social interactions and the health repercussions for cell phone overuse with you and your family. Some ways to reduce smartphone addiction and overuse are to use in built software or apps to monitor your usage or consciously reduce the amount of time you spend or ban its use in certain aspects of your life.
