Device Wise
It is important to Be Device Wise that the services we offer are addressing a problem which is evidenced through scientific research.
Here are some of the key research articles which evidence the impact that devices have on child development and psychological health:

SKIN
Studies indicate that blue light (BL) irradiation can damage human skins, but the impact of BL irradiation on skin aging is unknown.
Blue light with a wavelength of 380 to 500 nm has the shortest wavelength and highest amount of energy among the visible light seen by the human eye [1]. The LED displays and LED lighting of computers and smartphones contain a lot of blue light [2,3]. Blue light is also involved in the biological clock
Studies indicate that blue light (BL) irradiation can damage human skins, but the impact of BL irradiation on skin aging is unknown.
The skin is frequently subjected to a variety of environmental trauma and stress. It is unavoidably subjected to blue light due to the increased use of electronic equipment, including indoor lighting and digital gadgets like smartphones and laptops, which have a range of detrimental effects. The method of action and numerous harmful consequences of blue light on the skin are the main subjects of this review.
Epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence, has revolutionized our understanding of how environmental factors can influence cellular function and contribute to aging
The growing use of electronic devices and other artificial light sources in recent decades has changed the pattern of exposure to blue light (400-500 nm). Although some progress has been made in the study of the biological effects of blue light on the skin, many questions in this field remain unexplored.
The widespread use of digital devices has led to increased exposure to blue light, which has become a significant point of interest in cosmetic dermatology.
