Do Apple users have better wellbeing?

· Originally posted on LinkedIn, Aug 2025

I’m fascinated by the use of big data and mixed data sets. A classic example is how mobile phones - pinging their nearest call towers can give live traffic congestion information.

Our ICB has a big data store mixing some SUS data with primary care and Local authority/Public health but what could be added to make it richer? Came across the report below on internet/computer usage by area/neighbourhood ? Could that have any correlation to health outcomes? Do Apple users have better health outcomes? How does that help?

There may be all sorts of data on populations out there that could feed interesting insights from a pop health POV. Have you got any examples? or thoughts of what might make interesting cross over data.
