Beyond Boundaries: How Digital Therapy is Transforming Eating Disorder Care in Italy

Eating Disorders remain among the most challenging mental health conditions, with high rates of mortality and barriers to accessing timely treatment. In recent years, AI-powered tools and online therapy have opened new opportunities to improve care. Digital interventions—such as apps, chatbots, and telehealth platforms—can reduce symptoms, increase engagement, and provide continuity of support even outside clinical settings.

While early studies show promising results in reducing disordered eating behaviors and supporting recovery, these technologies also raise important questions around safety, ethics, and the need for clinical oversight.

This free webinar will explore how digital therapy and artificial intelligence are reshaping the treatment landscape for Eating Disorders, highlighting both the opportunities and the challenges ahead.
