The final workstream in EDIFY is about arts-based knowledge mobilisation.
Four artists-in-residence at EDIFY worked across illustration, textile, digital media, sculpture and animation — bringing research findings to life through personal stories.

EDIFY's STORY study has recruited 941 participants using remote measurement and speech recordings to explore what helps or hinders recovery from eating disorders.
They have found important language and vocal clues that might indicate eating disorders.

Neurobiological cohort studies show the importance of hopelessness, altered brain maturation and other brain alterations.

The spiral model acknowledges that recovery is possible at every stage. This will be adapted with the findings from EDIFY studies.
