Supporting Eating Disorder Treatment with AI and Digital Technology - Webinar
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 Supporting Eating Disorder Treatment with AI and Digital Technology.
Historically, the use of digital technology has been cautiously avoided in the treatment of eating disorders. However, recent advancements have brought artificial intelligence (AI) into the fold. While this shift has sparked some controversy, it presents exciting opportunities to leverage AI and digital technologies to better support individuals with eating disorders and their communities.
The panelists delve into the controversies and opportunities surrounding the use of AI for eating disorder support, They also shared insights from their pioneering work of implementing a rule-based chatbot in the National Eating Disorder Information Centre.
The webinar was held on August 28, 2024.
