Qyire launches eating disorder record system for providers

Qyire has launched an electronic health record system for eating disorder services and is discussing pilot deployments with independent and residential providers in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

The software targets a part of specialist mental health care where records are often spread across separate notes, forms and digital systems. As a result, psychiatrists, psychologists, dietitians and nurses can end up repeating entries and piecing together a patient history from multiple sources before making treatment decisions.

Built by a team with 60 years of combined experience in eating disorder care, the product is designed to bring clinical documentation, physical health monitoring, care plans, outcome measures, governance records and audit functions into a single shared record.

The launch comes as providers face rising demand for specialist support. Beat, the UK eating disorder charity, has said 1 in 20 people in the UK are living with an eating disorder, while adults can wait up to 700 days for treatment.

Hospital admissions in England linked to eating disorders have also risen by about 50% over a decade, according to Qyire.

Provider focus

Qyire is targeting both NHS-linked and private-sector care settings, including mental health hospitals, community teams, outpatient clinics, private practices and day-care services. Independent operators make up a notable share of the inpatient market in England.

The 2025 National Audit of Eating Disorders service mapping report found that private providers deliver 42% of adult inpatient eating disorder services in England and 27% of inpatient services for children and young people.

That market structure leaves specialist software suppliers serving a fragmented customer base spanning residential services, stand-alone clinics and hospital groups. Qyire's early discussions are focused on independent and residential providers across the three countries.

Laetitia Beaujard-Ramoo, Chief Executive Officer of Qyire, said: "Often a patient's care records are split across separate notes and systems. A dietitian and a doctor can each hold part of the picture, and the team has to piece it together before it can agree the next step. We designed Qyire so the whole team works from one record, built to the MEED guidance. Independent and residential providers need a record designed for the way specialist teams work. Qyire gives them that."

Specialist workflow

The system includes structured clinical documentation and automated MEED scoring, referring to the medical emergencies guidance used in eating disorder care. It also records the measurements clinicians use to assess risk, while leaving clinical decisions to the treating team.

Qyire says the software supports the patient journey from referral and team review through assessment, treatment, monitoring and progress review. Referrals, assessments, care plans, appointments and patient documents are intended to sit within the same record, so different professionals can work from the same information.

The company's focus on a single clinical area reflects a wider trend in health technology, with suppliers building software around specialist pathways rather than general-purpose hospital records. In eating disorder treatment, multidisciplinary working is central because care often combines physical health checks, nutritional support and mental health interventions delivered by different clinicians.

Richard Quigley, Labour MP for Isle of Wight West, said: "Finding specialist support for eating disorders is hard enough. When clinicians are working with incomplete or fragmented patient records, it can make things even harder and delay the support people need. That's why tools like Qyire, which help bring information together and give clinicians a clearer picture of someone's care needs, are so important. Anything that helps teams work together more effectively and safely is worth celebrating."
