122: Can AI help us treat eating disorders? How to change your social media habits to help your recovery - with lead researcher Dr Gemma Sharp


Listen Later

Ever wondered about the impact of social media on our body image and its role in fuelling eating disorders?

In this episode, we're joined by Gemma Sharp, Associate Professor and leader of Body Image & Eating Disorders Research at Monash University in Melbourne. Gemma shares crucial insights into sub-threshold disordered eating and prevention efforts, essential for gaining a deeper understanding of mental health. We'll explore how these issues have intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss the promising potential of AI in transforming treatment.

Gemma, a registered clinical psychologist, is widely recognised for her contributions to national and state eating disorder strategies and clinical guidelines for cosmetic procedures. Her research spans across Australia, Japan, and the UK, focusing on body image, eating disorders, and innovative therapeutic interventions such as digital technologies and AI, which we'll delve into.

With numerous accolades, including recognition as one of ABC Radio National's Top 5 Under 40 Scientists and a TED talk speaker, Gemma brings a wealth of expertise to our discussion on dismantling beauty standards and recognizing signs of disordered eating.

We're thrilled to have Dr. Gemma Sharp here to explore these important topics with us.

Gemma and her team at Monash University are leading a brand new international Consortium for Research in Eating Disorders (CoRe-ED), which aims to bring together all voices to improve eating disorder research and care globally. See more details here. You can join the consortium online launch on Wednesday 25th September 2024 (register here) where Gemma and her team will be inviting people around the world to join the consortium. There are no membership fees to join. Gemma's team are committed to keeping the consortium accessible to everyone who is keen to be involved.
