Emtherical Named Finalist for ESOMAR Regional Award for Customer Experience

Decatur, GA — August 15, 2025Emtherical, the AI company transforming how organizations understand human emotions, has been named a Finalist for the ESOMAR Regional Award for Customer Experience (CX) Insight.

The ESOMAR Regional Awards recognize breakthrough approaches in research and insights that elevate how organizations understand and engage with people. Emtherical earned its finalist position for its pioneering work with Sutter Health, one of Northern California’s largest healthcare providers. The collaboration applies Emtherical’s proprietary emotion AI models to patient experience feedback, revealing emotional drivers of trust, loyalty, and care that traditional metrics like NPS or OSAT often miss.

“Being recognized by ESOMAR is both an honor and a strong signal that emotional intelligence is the next frontier for experience management,” said Kirsten Zapiec, Co-Founder of Emtherical. “Our work with Sutter Health demonstrates how deeply understanding emotions can change the way organizations deliver care and create meaningful human connections.”

As a finalist, Emtherical joins a select group of innovators advancing customer and patient experience worldwide. Winners will be announced by ESOMAR Regional Awards Ceremony later summer.
