Juniver (http://www.joinjuniver.com/) is an early-stage health company on a mission to revolutionise eating disorder recovery by delivering on-demand help for compulsive moments, when people are most susceptible.Every year, eating disorders affect 2.4M people in the UK, costing £12b. Current guidelines recommend therapy, but recovery is only marginally successful. Over 90% of sufferers, the majority of whom are women, do not access help, stating cost, administrative complexity, and stigma as barriers. Yet, symptoms gravely affect their lives.We directly address these barriers by offering an affordable solution rooted in neuroscience that's always with you, that flexes to your symptoms, and features a compassionate community for extra support when you need it.With this award, we will run a research trial recruiting a diverse range of eating disorder sufferers to establish the efficacy of our solution. We will measure engagement and clinical outcomes, compared to receiving no treatment as well as compared to and paired with current gold standard treatment, cognitive behavioural therapy.Today, less than 1% of mental health research funding in the UK goes to eating disorders. While women represent the majority of sufferers, eating disorders affect people of any weight, age, gender, socioeconomic background and ethnicity. Yet less than a third of published papers reflect that diversity, fuelling the stereotype of the typical sufferer being an underweight, White young woman. Our mission is to advance the understanding of eating disorders through data - from identifying novel measures of detection, to disease causation, and personalised treatment needs.We're excited to work towards building a different world, where we are in control of our own health through equitable access to treatment, accessible research, and empathetic care.

Juniver（http://www.joinjuniver.com/）是一家早期的卫生公司，其使命是通过为强迫时刻提供按需帮助来彻底改变饮食失调症的使命，当时人们最容易受到强迫症。当前的指南建议治疗，但恢复只有很小的成功。超过90％的患者，大多数是妇女，不寻求帮助，将成本，行政复杂性和污名视为障碍。然而，症状严重影响了他们的生活。我们通过提供植根于您的神经科学的负担得起的解决方案来直接解决这些障碍，这种解决方案始终伴随着您的症状，并在需要时提供一个富有同情心的社区，以提供额外的支持。在此奖项中，我们将经营一项研究试验，招募潜水员范围的饮食失调范围来建立我们解决方案的效率。与当前的黄金标准治疗，认知行为疗法相比，我们将衡量参与度和临床结局，与不接受并配对。尽管妇女代表大多数患者，但饮食失调会影响任何体重，年龄，性别，社会经济背景和种族的人。然而，不到三分之一的发表论文反映了多样性，这推动了典型患者是一个体重不足的白人年轻女子的刻板印象。我们的使命是通过数据来提高对饮食失调的理解 - 从确定新颖的检测措施，疾病原因和个性化治疗需求。我们很高兴能够通过公平的治疗，无障碍研究和善解人意的护理来控制一个不同的世界，在那里我们可以控制自己的健康。
