Self-monitoring techniques, such as the use of dietary registers, are considered to be central to
cognitive-behavioral treatment of Eating Disorders (ED). This information allows the clinician to identify the
triggers of the behaviors associated to ED as purges and/or binges, and the associated thoughts and emotions,
helping to carry out a more accurate assessment. Traditionally these registers are made with paper and pencil
mode, where the patient has to register every eating and the emotions/thoughts associated; but this system
has some problems, as low portability, low adherence or methodological difficulties. The use of PDA for
self-registers can help to solve these problems. The aim of this study is to study the levels of acceptability
and satisfaction with PDAs self-register system specifically designed for assessment and treatment of ED.
Samples of 30 subjects diagnosed with ED are receiving a PDA with software specifically designed for
recording type and amount of food, emotions before and after eating and other behaviors. The participants
are completing self-register daily during a week, and afterwards answer an acceptance and satisfaction
questionnaire. This work is in progress at the moment. It is expected that the PDA system will show high
levels of acceptance and satisfaction. [-]
