人们越来越担心，为应对Covid-19大流行而实施的社交和保持身体距离措施可能会减少身体活动和增加社会隔离，从而对其他地区的健康产生负面影响。在这里，我们调查了增加与数字社交工具的接触是否有助于减轻强制隔离对身体活动和情绪的影响，在一项对风险个体的自然研究中。在实施严格的Covid-19封锁措施之前和期间，从一组精神科门诊患者中收集被动感知智能手机应用程序使用和活动记录数据。数据分析使用高斯图形模型：网络分析的一种形式，它可以洞察跨时间点测量之间的预测关系。在个人内部，我们发现了数字社交参与、智能手机一般使用和体育活动之间存在积极预测路径的证据——选择性地在锁定条件下（N = 127个个人用户，M = 6201个日常观察）。此外，我们观察到在封锁期间（但不是之前），社交媒体的使用与个人的每日总步数之间存在正相关关系。尽管从观察数据中得出因果结论的有效性存在重要局限性，但对我们的研究结果的一个合理解释是，在封锁期间，个人使用智能手机获得社会支持，这可能有助于防止面对面的社会剥夺和其他与大流行相关的压力的负面影响。重要的是，被动监控智能手机应用程序的使用是低负担和非侵入性的。如果得到适当的同意，这可以帮助识别那些没有参与通常的数字社会互动模式的人，为早期干预提供途径。
There is growing concern that the social and physical distancing measures implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic may negatively impact health in other areas, via both decreased physical activity and increased social isolation. Here, we investigated whether increased engagement with digital social tools may help mitigate effects of enforced isolation on physical activity and mood, in a naturalistic study of at-risk individuals. Passively sensed smartphone app use and actigraphy data were collected from a group of psychiatric outpatients before and during imposition of strict Covid-19 lockdown measures. Data were analysed using Gaussian graphical models: a form of network analysis which gives insight into the predictive relationships between measures across timepoints. Within-individuals, we found evidence of a positive predictive path between digital social engagement, general smartphone use, and physical activity—selectively under lockdown conditions (N = 127 individual users, M = 6201 daily observations). Further, we observed a positive relationship between social media use and total daily steps across individuals during (but not prior to) lockdown. Although there are important limitations on the validity of drawing causal conclusions from observational data, a plausible explanation for our findings is that, during lockdown, individuals use their smartphones to access social support, which may help guard against negative effects of in-person social deprivation and other pandemic-related stress. Importantly, passive monitoring of smartphone app usage is low burden and non-intrusive. Given appropriate consent, this could help identify people who are failing to engage in usual patterns of digital social interaction, providing a route to early intervention.
