About

From critical care to digital health.

Marta Gurule, RN

"I love turning a messy workflow into a process, and a skeptical clinician into an ally."

Six years ago, I started in the Emergency Department, where I learned to think clearly under pressure, communicate in the middle of chaos, and connect with people from every background imaginable, often in the hardest moments of their lives.

Case management deepened that foundation. It's where I really learned how healthcare systems work, and where they break down: broken processes, siloed teams, and fragmented systems that leave patients caught in the gaps the moment they leave the hospital. I never held a formal leadership title there, but I regularly stepped into that role anyway, noticing what wasn't working and taking the initiative to fix it. That instinct, to lead from wherever I'm standing, has shown up in every role since.

More recently, digital health showed me both the promise and the friction of healthcare technology, especially the gap between how tools get designed and how clinicians actually work. I was the person nurses felt comfortable turning to when the EHR or a new piece of technology didn't make sense, not because it was my job, but because I was approachable and willing to help, usually with a screen-share, some teach-back, and a lot of patience.

What I bring to this work isn't just clinical experience. It's grit, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and a deep respect for the people doing this work on the frontlines every day. I care about integrity, cultural awareness, and building solutions that improve care without losing sight of the humans at the center of it.

Right now, I'm deepening that into digital health specifically. I'm an AI Nurse Super User for MiRA AI Health's pilot program, I volunteer with a local dementia respite program, and I'm currently taking an AI foundations course built for nurses — this site is one of the things I built in it. I'm also a lifelong learner outside of healthcare: I'm working through Spanish classes, and I co-own a short-term rental in La Paz, Mexico, which has taught me as much about customer experience and day-to-day operations as any clinical job has.

Cultural competency and emotional intelligence aren't soft skills to me — they're the actual mechanism by which trust gets built, whether that's with a frightened patient's family at 3 a.m. or a skeptical physician who's seen five other "process improvements" fail.

Outside of work, I'm a wife, a daughter, a sister, an informal case manager for family members navigating chronic illness, and a dog mom who's happiest outdoors or somewhere new on a map.

I'm excited to connect with people who are willing to challenge the status quo and rethink what healthcare can become, especially those building things that help people in sustainable, meaningful ways. Right now, I'm looking for a customer success or implementation role at a digital health company doing exactly that kind of work.
