Welcome to Onix: Dr. Michael Rich
Harvard pediatrician, former Hollywood filmmaker, and founder of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital. Meet the Mediatrician.
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Michael Rich to Onix.
Dr. Rich is a Harvard pediatrician and founder of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital. He has spent decades studying how screens, social media, and gaming affect the physical and mental health of children and adolescents.
Before medicine, he was a Hollywood filmmaker, which gives him an unusual lens on how media shapes behavior. That combination of storytelling instinct and clinical rigor is what makes his approach different. He does not just study screens. He understands how they work on us.
Now his thinking is on Onix. Ask him about screen time rules, social media boundaries, or how to help a kid who can’t put down their phone.
