Dr Jodie Avery BA, BAppSc, MPH, PhD is a social researcher with advanced skills in both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. She is currently Senior Research Fellow and IMAGENDO® Program Manager in the Endometriosis Research group with the Robinson Research Institute. This program combines endometriosis ultrasounds and MRIs using artificial intelligence to get a more accurate diagnosis for endometriosis. As a chronic disease epidemiologist her primary area of research has concerned the intersection of women's chronic health conditions with psychosocial factors that may influence other associated comorbidities. This includes investigating psychosocial and mental health aspects of women’s chronic conditions such as Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), and Incontinence throughout the life course. Ultimately, Jodie hopes to increase the awareness of Endometriosis and PCOS within the medical community so that women may receive a timelier diagnosis, as well as care that is appropriate to their needs.
