New study aims to personalize eating disorder treatment using smartphone data

This study tests a new way to treat eating disorders by personalizing therapy based on each person's most troubling symptoms. Researchers use smartphone surveys to map individual symptom patterns, then match participants to specific therapy modules. The goal is to see if this tailored approach works better than standard cognitive behavioral therapy. The study involves 320 adults with eating disorders and compares the personalized treatment to the current gold-standard therapy.
