Optimizing Digital Health Platforms for Enhanced Cognitive Outcomes in Higher Education: A Commercial Biotechnology Perspective

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of digital health technologies in enhancing self-regulated learning and mental well-being among college students. The study first examines the psychological impacts at various self-regulation stages of self-study, integrating insights from both biological and psychological perspectives. It then assesses how regular physical activities, facilitated by digital health platforms, contribute to improved mental health outcomes. This analysis includes a detailed evaluation of the psychological benefits derived from commonly practiced sports and the effect of physical education integrated with self-learning strategies. The empirical results from this study highlight significant improvements in mental health indicators among participants engaged in sports therapy. Specifically, in cases of depression, subjects showed marked reductions in pessimism, feelings of punishment, appetite issues, and suspicion. Furthermore, in anxiety disorder interventions, standardized score decreases of up to 24 points were observed, bringing subjects' scores below clinical anxiety thresholds. These findings underscore the efficacy of integrating physical activities with digital health monitoring to enhance student mental health. This research not only contributes to our understanding of the psychological benefits of combining digital health strategies with physical education but also showcases the potential commercial applications of digital health technologies in educational settings. By improving students' mental health through structured sports programs monitored via digital platforms, this study offers valuable insights for developing new products and services in the commercial biotechnology sector that support mental health education in universities.
