This is my presentation for the ePatients' panel at the Medicine 2.0 conference (Med2) held at Torremolinos last 10th of October. My intervention was focused on the cultural and sociel relevance of Instagram as a privileged site for deploying narratives of the self, as well as the selfie as a primer form of self expression and its applications in Health. Through my presentation I tried to dismantle some of the stereotypes regarding the selfie, showing its complexities, some relevant research on Instagram and selfies and our research proposal, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. This research proposal has been developed by the research group Mediaccions #digital culture, based in the IN3 and the Open University of Catalonia
