PHYSICAL HEALTH IN CORONA TIMES
This research focused on the relation between a person’s screen time and steps taken in a day and so, it was researched how much of the time that we are not working we spend moving, taking into account external factors like indoor temperature. Five participants have collected temperature, screen time and step count data by a temperature/humidity sensor (DHT11), LDR sensor and a sport band (Xiaomi Mi Band 4, Mi Band 5 or anHuawei band 30 Pro). This data is stored in Excel sheets which are imported, cleaned, analyzed and visualized in Python. These visualizations show that
some participant take more steps when they are offline, and some participants when they are online. Some participants take more steps when the temperature was higher. Overall, no conclusions can be drawn due to the divergent lifestyles and the small sample size.
