Clinical area: Mental health - Digital support for children and young people with eating disorders
Why:
- An eating disorder (ED) is a mental health condition where people use the control of food to cope with feelings and other situations.
- The most common EDs include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED) and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED).
- Anyone can get an eating disorder, but teenagers and young adults are mostly affected.
Products in scope:

- Are intended for use by children and mid-adolescence into emerging adulthood.
