Salut BED is an online therapeutic support program for binge eating disorder developed by HUG (University Hospital of Geneva) and NetUnion (Lausanne, Switzerland). The internet delivery model was developed in the European research project Salut (Intelligent environment for diagnostics, treatment and prevention of eating disorders, IST 2000-25026).

Clinical assessments were made during 2002 to 2004 the project partners in Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Spain have confirmed the effectiveness of this model.

The program is continuously updated based on new scientific data from ongoing European research projects such as Diogenes (Diet, Obesity and Genes, FP6-513946), and the Marie Curie Research Network Intact (Individually Tailored Stepped Care for Women with Eating Disorders, MRTN-CT 2006-035988).

Clinical development is also based on the accumulated experience and feedback from clinics in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Holland and Sweden who have used the program since 2002.
