First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a smartphone app that uses brief surveys and phone sensor data to detect when someone with an eating disorder might be at higher risk for behaviors like binge eating, restricting food, or purging. The app then delivers short video lessons on coping skills. The goal is to see if the app can accurately predict these behaviors and be acceptable to users. 170 adults with eating disorders will use the app for 16 weeks.
