This peer-reviewed pilot case series reports on 5 individuals aged 19-25 years with low self-esteem and mild eating disorders, who used the Worth Warrior app for 7 weeks.

Outcome measures at follow-up showed improvements in eating disorder symptomatology in 3/5 cases, and in self-esteem in 4/5 cases; those with milder symptomatology indicated the most benefit.

Findings suggest the Worth Warrior app may be suited as an acceptable and effective standalone tool for individuals with mild eating disorder symptoms, and used as an adjunct to traditional treatment alongside clinician supervision for those with more severe presentations to promote the greatest patient safety.

While this was a small, exploratory study, the findings are encouraging, highlighting the potential effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of the Worth Warrior app for young people experiencing low self‑esteem and mild eating difficulties.
