The use of Blind Weighing in treatment is essential, especially for individuals in the acute stages of treatment or experiencing cognitive or emotional impairment due to their disorder. Blind Weight scales are designed to provide exposure therapy by allowing the user to engage in the weigh-in process while not directly revealing their weight. This approach helps reduce the anxiety and distress associated with seeing one's weight while providing feedback on their progress. Using Blind Weight scales helps patients transition into a lower level of care and eventually become comfortable with open-weighing. Such an approach is vital because it allows the patient to gradually become accustomed to the idea of knowing their weight, which can be a significant source of distress. By enabling them to face the process of weighing without the immediate shock of seeing their actual weight, it helps ease the patient into accepting the process and becoming more comfortable with it over time. This method also ensures that the treatment team can monitor the patient's weight and adjust their treatment plan accordingly.

aking blind weigh-in measurements for eating disorder patients is important because it helps to prevent patients from manipulating their weight by dehydrating themselves or purging before weigh-ins. Additionally, the blind weigh-in helps to ensure that weight changes are accurately reflected, and provides a more accurate picture of the patient's progress in treatment. It also helps to establish trust between the patient and the healthcare professional and reduces the focus on the patient's weight as the sole measure of progress.

Blind weigh-ins are less triggering to eating disorder patients because they remove the emphasis on the number on the scale and instead focus on the patient's overall progress and health. For someone with an eating disorder, the number on the scale can have a powerful psychological impact, and can be a source of anxiety and distress. Additionally, seeing the number on the scale can perpetuate the cycle of disordered thoughts and behaviors associated with the disorder. By removing the emphasis on the number on the scale, blind weigh-ins can help patients to focus on their overall health and well-being, rather than getting fixated on the number on the scale.

Eating disorders are a serious and complex mental health condition that affects millions of people globally. According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), it is estimated that 20 million women and 10 million men in the United States will have an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Eating disorders are not limited to a specific demographic and can affect people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental illness. It's important to note that these numbers may be underestimated, as eating disorders often go undiagnosed and unreported.

Virtual eating disorder treatment can be effective for a number of reasons. One reason is that it allows for greater flexibility and convenience for the patient. For example, virtual treatment can be accessed from anywhere and at any time, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals who may have difficulty attending in-person appointments due to work, school or location constraints. Another reason virtual treatment can be effective is that it can provide anonymity, which can be helpful for individuals who may feel ashamed or embarrassed about their eating disorder. Additionally, virtual treatment can be less intimidating, which can make it more accessible for individuals who may be hesitant to seek treatment in person. Virtual treatment can also provide access to specialists and evidence-based treatment methods that may not be available in all areas, which can be especially beneficial for individuals who live in rural or remote locations. Finally, virtual treatment can also provide a means of continuing treatment after an individual has completed an inpatient or residential program, which can be critical for maintaining progress and preventing relapse. It's important to note that virtual treatment should be provided by qualified and licensed professionals, who are trained to provide treatment for eating disorders, and should be combined with other forms of treatment such as, in-person therapy, medical supervision, and nutritional counseling if necessary.

the codes are not as straightforward as a simple "up" or "down." We embed the weight data into the lettered error codes displayed on the scale. The algorithm used is quite intricate and involves a specific equation. As a result, it's not something that a user can easily decipher without access to another calibrated device. Blind Weight was designed with the primary goal of providing a less-triggering and alternative option to traditional blind weights. Our intention is to reduce the anxiety and shock associated with taking blind weights. We achieve this by obscuring the measurement for the user and providing exposure therapy. Blind Weight can be seen as a middle ground between open and closed weigh-ins. The scale is designed to resemble a standard floor scale, using the same font and characters. This familiarization helps users become more comfortable with the weigh-in process. Our ultimate objective is to reduce triggering experiences by providing a milder version of the weigh-in process.
