Abstract:
Systems, methods, devices, and applications for managing a binge eating disorder (BED). A smartphone and server application may be provided for monitoring and treating BED. Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) may be used for automated and/or manual acquisition of data related to triggers associated with BED. Risk factors may be captured in real-time to provide data to both patients and clinicians. For manual data acquisition, the user may be prompted to input emotional states, urges to binge, eating behavior, and binge episodes. For automated acquisition, time, place (e.g. via GPS), medicine adherence, and physical activity may be recorded. The user may be provided with alerts and/or interventions when it is determined that they are at risk of binging.
