We stand on the shoulders of giants in the field of behavioral science

At Sunny, we draw on the vital work of many institutions studying the problem of social isolation and disconnectedness.

Sunny team members, Amy Vest and Steven Crane, collaborated to translate the scientific findings of researchers into social well-being behaviors anyone can do.

Drawing on their work at organizations like Stanford University’s Behavior Design Lab and Harvard’s McLean School of Behavioral Health, Amy and Steven pored through academic research. They analyzed and identified the most effective actions for nurturing connectedness and lifting moods. Sunny offers instructions and easy steps for enhancing your relationships and social skills.

We appreciate the numerous institutions for their research into a subject that impacts us and our society in a such a profound way.

The Sunny app will continue to evolve and we look forward to amplifying the voices of many more experts in the field of social well-being. If you are one of those experts, we’d love to hear from you.
