Using AI To Make Healthcare More Human
Emyra is on a mission to reduce preventable harm in healthcare by transforming the way medications are prescribed. They use real-time pharmacogenomics (PGx) and AI-powered medication intelligence to help clinicians make the safest, most personalized decisions for their patients in real-time within their current workflow.
But when they came to us, they were still operating as Sherpa RX. The science was strong. The platform was powerful. What was missing was a name and brand that clearly expressed their purpose and positioned them for scale.
The Challenge
Emyra needed more than a visual refresh. They needed the brand power that comes from clarity.
The old name for Emyra, Sherpa RX, no longer reflected the full depth of the platform, nor the human-centered future that the company is building. The new needed to work across a number of stakeholders including health systems, clinicians, and partners, while maintaining the right balance of scientific credibility and empathy. The new identity must also be able to be communicated in simple terms for a complex offering, establish trust in a highly regulated space, and support conversations with enterprise clients.
Our Approach
We guided Emyra through a focused renaming process, clarifying their vision, audience, and long-term goals. From that work, the name Emyra emerged: distinct, human, and future-facing.
In addition to the brand development, we created a brand identity for Emyra including logo and brand language, and documented all the brand assets in brand guidelines to ensure that all future brand communications maintain the highest level of trust, clarity and confidence in high-stakes clinical environments.
The Outcome
Emyra launched with a new name and a brand built for longevity.
The name Emyra is a creative, linguistic take on emerald, a symbol rich with meaning. In Vedic tradition, emeralds are associated with wisdom, intelligence, and clear communication. They are also known as stones of protection and healing. This symbolism mirrors Emyra’s mission: bringing clarity to complex decisions, protecting patients from harm, and making healthcare more human.
With a distinct name, a cohesive visual identity, and clear brand guidelines in place, Emyra is positioned to scale with confidence. What was once Sherpa RX is now a brand that reflects the depth of its science, the care at its core, and the future it is helping to shape.
