Beanbag Health - The Digital App for Lifelong Recovery with Lindsey Depledge

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Lindsey Depledge, the Chief Product Officer, and Co-Founder of Beanbag Health. Beanbag Health is a digital app which uses evidence-based CBT-E to support individuals struggling with eating and body image issues to achieve life-long recovery. Lindsey has used her background in behavioural science, health, and education technology, to develop Beanbag Health which is the topic of discussion today. In this week's episode, we discuss the following:

  • What Beanbag Health is and how it helps people.

  • Where the idea behind the Beanbag Health app comes from, based on the co-founder's experience and requirements they noticed weren't being met.

  • Where the Beanbag Health app can fit into someone's treatment for an eating disorder.

  • What CBT-E is, why it's suitable for app use, and how it can support someone in their recovery.

  • How the Beanbag Health app navigates tracking things like weight, meals, behaviours and emotions in a pro-recovery manner without numbers.
