F-50

The F-50 App is an innovative project developed by those affected for those affected, with the goal of supporting people with eating disorders on their path to recovery. The mission of F-50 is to overcome obstacles on the road to recovery and to give each individual the opportunity to reach their full potential and lead a fulfilling life. The team behind F-50 consists of former affected individuals and relatives who are passionately committed to the destigmatization of eating disorders and want to offer help[1][3][5].

F-50 offers a variety of digital solutions aimed at creating a supportive environment:

• Online Courses and Group Therapies: These are based on behavioral therapeutic methods and are designed to reduce problematic eating behavior and improve quality of life. The courses are flexibly adaptable and can be used as a complement to traditional forms of therapy[3][5].
• Online Community and Peer Support: A strong community of like-minded individuals who can support, empower, and grow together. Former affected individuals act as buddies and provide personal guidance[1][3].
• Individual Support and Inspiring Content: Tailored support provided through videos, stories, and exercises. Additionally, there are personal recovery plans and flexible use on all devices[5].

F-50 works closely with multidisciplinary experts such as doctors, therapists, and psychologists to ensure that the content is based on evidence-based methods. The app is supported by a feasibility study in cooperation with the SRH University of Health to verify the effectiveness of the 12-week program[4][5].

A central goal of F-50 is to close the care gap in eating disorders caused by overwhelmed healthcare systems and long waiting times. Through the digital solution, low-threshold and easily accessible support is to be provided to offer immediate help to those affected. F-50 is also committed to the destigmatization of eating disorders, especially among men, and promotes awareness and support for all affected individuals[1][4][5].

The F-50 App not only offers professional support but also a safe space for exchange and mutual support in the online community. Through regular podcasts and inspiring stories, additional motivation and hope are conveyed to support the healing process[1][5].

F-50 is a passionate and innovative project aimed at accompanying people with eating disorders on their path to recovery and enabling a fulfilling life. By combining personal experiences and professional knowledge, F-50 creates a comprehensive and supportive environment that meets the needs of those affected.
