Overview

Eating disorders (ED) affect the relationship with food and body image. Virtual reality (VR), combined with artificial intelligence (AI), offers new clinical solutions, overcoming traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The ARCADIA VR project aims to develop devices to treat ED through personalized VR systems (e.g. Enhanced Body-Swap for anorexia, Emotional Rescripting for bulimia) and AI predictive algorithms to monitor severity, risk and efficacy of treatments. These approaches promise better and faster results, improving diagnosis and treatment.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa according to DSM-5-TR (APA, 2013) and ICD-11, confirmed by a public hospital setting
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 16 and 32
  • Disorder present for at least 6 months
  • No other concurrent psychotherapeutic interventions during the study
  • All participants with a previous diagnosis will be re-evaluated and confirmed through assessment and consent by expert professionals in the research team (i.e., a neuropsychiatrist and a clinical psychologist)
