Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Digital Health
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • App-based interventions show promise for eating disorder treatment but face challenges with user uptake and retention.
  • Understanding end-user needs and preferences is critical for developing effective digital health tools.
  • Few interventions are co-designed with users before clinical trials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experiences of individuals with a history of eating disorders.
  • To identify user needs and preferences for app-based eating disorder interventions.
  • To apply a design thinking approach to inform the development of these interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 7 young women with a history of body image issues or eating disorders.
  • Conducted interviews to gather lived experiences and app preferences.
  • Utilized thematic analysis and empathy mapping to analyze data.

Main Results:

  • Identified the importance of recognizing eating disorder symptoms and aligning recovery with personal values.
  • Highlighted the role of social support in fostering hope and usability in app engagement.
  • Uncovered key challenges and opportunities for app-based interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Findings offer practical guidance for developing app-based eating disorder interventions.
  • Recommendations aim to enhance participant uptake and retention.
  • Emphasizes the value of user-centered design in digital mental health.
