The Health and Happiness study will be the first study of its kind to collect large-scale wellbeing data from surveys, smartphones, and smartwatches from a global sample population.

The project is led by researchers at Harvard University, Oxford University, Warwick Business School, Indiana University and the University of Saskatchewan, in collaboarion with Avicenna, the World Happiness Summit, and Garmin Health.

Using state-of-art machine learning and artificial intelligence, the study seeks to reveal novel insights into the dynamics, determinants, and downstream effects of human happiness.

Ultimately, our goal is to help individuals make better choices for their own personal health and happiness, and to provide data-driven insights for decision-makers around the world to make better products, services, and policies to promote wellbeing.
