Interoceptive mechanisms of a mobile heart rate variability biofeedback app for eating disorder symptoms: Proof-of-concept findings

Findings suggest HRV biofeedback may reduce ED symptoms by enhancing interoceptive skills. These results support further investigation into biofeedback as a low-cost, scalable intervention for populations at risk for EDs. Future studies should evaluate fully powered controlled efficacy trials of mobile HRVB as a preventive strategy for eating and body-related mental health concerns.
