The Society of Digital Psychiatry in collaboration with JMIR Mental Health, an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by JMIR Publications, invites you to a webinar titled ‘Technology in Eating Disorders Care: Where We Are and What Lies Ahead’
Despite the growing awareness of eating disorders, most individuals affected never receive the care they need. Technology offers significant promise in closing this gap—expanding access, supporting early identification, and enhancing engagement in care.
Join Laura D’Adamo and Dr. John Torous for a timely discussion on the evolving landscape of technology-enabled care for eating disorders. The conversation will look at what’s working today, the challenges that still remain, and how new tools and technologies could shape the future of treatment and support.
The webinar will be held on May 30, 2025, at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT. To register, please use this link:
