How to Break a Phone Addiction with This Screen Time App: Ondrej Zak, Zario

Alex Jani: interviewing visionaries of healthcare innovation

Take a wild guess: how many years will you get back when you limit your screen time?

Yes, I said: YEARS.

Spoiler: more than you think. But my guest gives an exact number.

Because in this episode, you’ll hear about

  • a phone addiction – or “problematic phone use” if you prefer
  • how to tell if you’re addicted to your phone
  • how to break a phone addiction
  • and how a screen time app can help

My guest, Ondrej Zak is the CEO of Zario. He’s got a solid background in advising on digital transformation, new business models, and creating digital products.

Zario is a Swiss startup that developed an app to help us regain control over our digital habits. Think: screen time, scrolling – you get the idea. It uses behavioral psychology and gamifies experience to promote sustainable habit change. Already available in both the App Store and Google Play Store check them there or go to their website:
