Relational aspects of body image
Notions of the sense of self
Body integrity when you go through challenging events
Experiencing threat (especially when threat comes from
their own body) makes them acutely aware of their
body and appearance
Sense of self worth
How can support network influence this body image
Entire support network
In particular a key person and carer
Navigating a challenging event in life (illness or other)
oMental health interventions have taken off in the digital realm
More so than Autism etc. and other key areas of focus
- Evolution of my research and clinical work:
oEvolution: good example of what psychology has gone through
internationally to nationally
oTransitioning from face-to-face to a digital and technology front
oMany potentials and challenges come with this
- 1. Face to face interventions
oTrials delivered in house, hospital, or clinical setting
oOne person or a group of psychologists that came up with the
intervention
oMaybe a social worker or welfare support disciplines
- 2. DVDs and self help materials
oRemote or no therapist input
oEditors key here: creates the psychologist/director’s vision
oDevelopers = psychologists and also DVD developers and

- Shift in the number of types of people you collaborate with
oAnd be on the same page with
- Digital health interventions:
oWhy would a psychologist care about digital health care interventions
Reaching more people/participants recruiting
Participants will increasingly understand these technologies
(young people)
Virtual communities: rural communities, accessibility
Applying understanding (of cognitive, reasoning etc.) in the
social realm
Digital technologies
What happens to their memory/learning/behaviour
when they engage in technologies
Psychology is the science of us: genuinely interested in the
human condition
Advances in sciences are really apart of the evolution of
humans
Advances are happening so quickly now compared to
decades ago where the evolution was slow
What does it mean for how we behave in private/public
etc.
Digital health in the broader scope of advancements in
technology
Psychology as a science has always been at the forefront of
advances
Theoretical, scientific foundations
As a science degree we look at the self and technologies
around it, is all apart of the development of humans
oHow psychological prevention has come from
Face to face interventions
Challenges with digital health interventions (particularly with
apps)
Understanding the digital world can help with numerous roles
Understanding broader context of mHealth and eHealth:
- mHealth is a marker of/part of technological advancements globally
- Digital sphere:
oThe sharing of ideas
oCollaborative
oOnline presence is a new currency for people
oResearch and technology
oAccessibility
oBig data: linking datasets globally (data linkage)
oInnovative apps/online interventions
Psychology especially
- How these technological advancements link together
oWhat does this mean for society
oSocietal rules and regulations: new things we must consider

oSlow food movement: how was share and connect with others around
food
Being mindful about this
What do robots and drones influence this concept of slow food
And the dining experience
oTechnological advancements and jobs
Robots?
Standardised globally: will this eliminate cultural differences
across the globe
Does it connect and unify us? Or do we lose a sense of what
makes a unique?
oWhat does it mean if we no longer have Autism and DS
Does it take away how we learn to be accepting of differences
oHow much of what is science fiction will become science fact?
oHow the collaboration between media officials informs reality
NASA learning from a design in a movie
oWe need to understand this in order to harness it
- Fundamental changes to world economy:
oMore than in any other time in history: much broader than things like
the conveyor belt
o40% of Australian jobs could be redundant in 10-15 years
More so for men than women
oThe nature of work for ALL occupations will change
Amount of a job that would start to be automated
Needs to adapt and modify to take into account the percentage
of the job that is now automated
oMost impacted:
Manual labour and construction (80% of job taken over)
oPerceptions are much less than what will be reality
oDexterity jobs
oAnd jobs that surround human understanding
Empathy
Test taking may be taken over
Not just the score but the behaviour that we observe that is
interesting
Anxiety and effort etc. and behaviors that may that impact the
test scores
- Our advances can take us anywhere but do we want to go there?
oChild care? Photography?
oHarnessing the technology
oHuman psychologist robots:
Or instead of computers taking anxiety measures to see who
needs immediate therapy after being diagnosed with cancer
(where people don’t tend to respond) if this looked like a
human would response be better
