A study will look at the impact of technology, including social media, on mental health.

One of the largest studies investigating the effects of digital technologies on young people's mental health is about to begin, according to scientists.

The always-on world of social media and quick news cycles has negatively impacted individuals as information continues to become more digital and as the pandemic has helped to speed up the transformation.


The study will concentrate on people between the ages of 10 and 24 and look at how a fast-changing culture has produced new digital pressures.

The partnership between psychology and engineering will leverage gamification, such as a mobile app game, to capture neuronal sequences in young individuals, according to Dr. Theodore Lim of Heriot-Watt University.
