Abstract

Eating disorders (EDs) are characterized by multifaceted etiologies, difficulties in accessing care (especially in regional locations), and variable responsiveness to treatments. Digital technologies are viewed as an important innovation in the assessment and treatment of EDs. We discuss current implementation of these innovations as well as important future directions for the field.

Keywords: digital assessment; digital intervention; eating disorders; phenotyping.
