The standard hasn't moved since 1996. Find out how today's habits stack up — in 90 seconds.
Most people in this quiz feel the same way. The good news: you don't have to change how you use your phone. Bodywell works passively in the background — no behavior change required.
Yes. A $30 million U.S. government study (NTP, 2018) found "clear evidence" that cell phone radiation biologically interacts with the body. The question isn't if. It's how much.
In 1996, when the limit was set, the average American used a phone 7 minutes a day. Today: 4–5 hours. Same standard.
40× the dose.
Today, the average phone is on or near a body 16+ hours a day. The 1996 standard never anticipated all-day on-body use — or that a single device would carry cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, all transmitting at once.
When phone use crossed 30 minutes a day, the World Health Organization classified it as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B, 2011). The average call-heavy user today is well past that line — and the rules haven't moved since.
They were plugged into a kitchen wall. Today, 3 in 4 adults sleep with a phone within arm's reach. That's another 8 hours of dose every night — in the only window your body has to recover. None of it modeled in the original FCC test.
The same 1996 FCC standard applies whether it's your phone or your 9-year-old's. A child's smaller, still-developing skull absorbs up to 10× more EMF.
In 2026, HHS removed "safe" claims about cell phone radiation from its website. The rules haven't caught up to reality.
We're not measuring your body. We're scoring your daily habits against the FCC's published test conditions.
You've seen them. Most don't work. Many actually make exposure worse — by blocking the signal, they force your phone to transmit at full power. The FTC has flagged them for false advertising.
Bodywell does the opposite. It works on your body, not your device. It doesn't block, shield, or interfere with the signal. It's tested at the same FCC-certified lab phone makers use to certify their handsets — using a published, repeatable SAR-reduction protocol.
