The INTERconNEcT-EDs app-based self-help program for people with eating disorders: a usability and qualitative study
The aChiral Content application exhibited satisfactory levels of usability and acceptability among individuals diagnosed with ED. The integration of user-centred design methodologies, multimedia resources, and the facilitation of peer involvement has been demonstrated to enhance engagement levels. These findings lend support to the potential of the app for wider implementation and scalable use in digital interventions for ED.
