The Jensen inequality is of fundamental importance because of its influential and interesting consequences. In recent years, the Jensen inequality has been supposed to be the most engaging source for research. We present interesting improvements to the continuous version of Jensen's inequality through the application of the concept of 6-convexity. For real visualization and comparison to other results, some numerical experiments were provided. With the aid of the acquired results, improvements for the Hermite-Hadamard and Hölder inequalities were presented. Some relationships between the means were granted as applications of established improvements. In addition, some estimations of the Csiszár divergence and its associated cases were received as further applications of the obtained results. The major techniques employed in formulating the proposed improvements included the Jensen inequality and the concept of convexity.
