Over the years, we have conducted extensive research on smartphone and internet gaming addiction, establishing a robust framework that includes global and Taiwan-specific prevalence surveys. Our studies profile internet addiction demographics in Taiwan and develop screening tools to identify addiction tendencies, examining links to sleep, health, and self-harm risk.<\/p>

A key innovation, the Know Addiction<\/span> APP, uses automated recording to analyze smartphone addiction’s impact on sleep and routines. We have also proposed diagnostic guidelines for smartphone and internet addiction, enhancing clinical assessments through structured diagnostic interviews.<\/p>

As digital addiction grows, global efforts focus on adolescent counseling and platform restrictions. Our research offers scientific insights into addiction behaviors and evidence-based policy recommendations to support prevention and intervention strategies, fostering healthier internet use.

Building on years of clinical and research experience in psychiatry, we have elucidated the concept of “internet addiction” and provided evidence-based prevalence rates through meta-analytic studies. Based on these findings, we propose three key policy directions:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  1. Promoting Mental Health<\/span><\/li>
  2. Encouraging Alternatives to Punishment<\/span><\/li>
  3. Advocating for Eye Care Certification<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
