Abstract
A major smartphone company is studying how smartphone usage affects users' stress, productivity, and sleep habits. As part of the product development team, you have been assigned to analyze user behavior data to help create digital wellness features that improve the overall user experience.
The company has collected behavior data from over 50,000 users to better understand how smartphone habits may influence focus, stress, and performance. By exploring this data, the team hopes to discover patterns that can guide healthier digital usage and create a better balance between daily life and technology use.
Senior product managers are considering several possible digital wellness features: usage alerts, social media time summaries, sleep-protection reminders, caffeine and screen-time education, and personalized dashboards. Before investing in a new feature, they need evidence about which user behaviors are actually associated with stress, sleep, and productivity.
You are the analyst advising the product development team. Your task is to examine the dataset, test the team's assumptions, and recommend which digital wellness feature should receive priority.
