Optimising time use for health and wellbeing

Description: This study finds the healthiest way to spend our time across daily activities such as sleeping, screen time and exercise. Because there are only 24 hours in any day, this involves a balancing act between activities. We explore how to get the balance right, not only for one aspect of health (e.g., obesity), but for overall health and wellbeing. We will develop software that shows the best daily activity balance, taking into account individual concepts of best health and activity preferences.
