Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize eating disorder research, treatment, and practice by assisting with complex problems such as predicting illness prognosis, supporting diagnostic decisions, tailoring treatment plans, and even data analysis and study design choices. Yet, research on the applications of AI in eating disorders remains limited. This editorial discusses the importance of AI, explores practical applications, and outlines key directions for future research. To accelerate progress, the International Journal of Eating Disorders will publish a special issue on AI in this context, anticipated in December 2025.
期刊介绍:
Articles featured in the journal describe state-of-the-art scientific research on theory, methodology, etiology, clinical practice, and policy related to eating disorders, as well as contributions that facilitate scholarly critique and discussion of science and practice in the field. Theoretical and empirical work on obesity or healthy eating falls within the journal’s scope inasmuch as it facilitates the advancement of efforts to describe and understand, prevent, or treat eating disorders. IJED welcomes submissions from all regions of the world and representing all levels of inquiry (including basic science, clinical trials, implementation research, and dissemination studies), and across a full range of scientific methods, disciplines, and approaches.
