NCT ID NCT07417826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a mobile app and digital monitoring to standard group therapy can better prevent suicide risk in women with eating disorders. Researchers will compare two groups of 150 women aged 18-65 who have recently had suicidal thoughts or attempts. One group gets standard therapy, the other adds a smartphone app. The goal is to see if digital tools improve safety and reduce eating disorder symptoms.
