January Resource of the Month
This quarter, we’re exploring the power of neuroscience to strengthen workplace wellbeing.
Our February Resource of the Month offers a hands-on way to turn that science into action by using real-time data to create more connected, thriving organizations.
This month, in connection with our Using Neuroscience for Wellbeing theme and our upcoming summit keynote with Dr. Paul Zak, we’re excited to feature SIX, an emotional fitness app grounded in decades of neuroscience research.
Founded by neuroscientist Dr. Zak, Immersion Neuroscience turns over 20 years of research into practical tools designed to help people thrive mentally, emotionally, and socially in everyday life. One of their flagship innovations is the SIX app, which uses data from the wearable devices people already use, like smartwatches and fitness trackers, to reveal what experiences truly matter for emotional wellbeing.
Why We Love It
Traditional wellbeing tools often rely on self‑reports, journals, or subjective check‑ins. SIX tackles wellbeing differently. It pairs your wearable device with neuroscience insight to passively measure emotional fitness in real time, showing:
Emotional fitness scores tied to neurochemicals like oxytocin and dopamine
Daily Key Moments the most meaningful emotional experiences your brain registers throughout the day
Personalized mood and energy forecasts rooted in physiological data
What activities raise or lower your emotional wellbeing so you can optimize how you spend your time
By helping users recognize the experiences that fuel connection, joy, clarity, and motivation, SIX turns abstract ideas about happiness into measurable, actionable insights. It’s a powerful tool for individuals and, when used with permission and privacy safeguards, a way for employers to understand how culture and programs impact emotional wellbeing across teams.
How It Works
SIX connects with popular wearable devices, including Apple Watch, Garmin, WHOOP, Samsung, and more, to detect subtle biometric signals related to emotional value and stress levels. The app translates these signals into emotional wellbeing insights without requiring extra routines, journaling, or guesswork.
Your brain produces recognizable patterns when you experience emotionally meaningful moments. SIX helps you see which moments boost your wellbeing, which ones drain it, and how small adjustments to daily activities can have big effects.
Try SIX
The SIX app is always free to use, and we’re offering one month of free premium access so you can explore these insights in depth. Use this link or enter code WTTEXPERT when you sign up.
Whether you’re seeking to deepen your self‑awareness, support your emotional health, or design workplace experiences that truly make a difference, SIX connects neuroscience to real, everyday wellbeing.
