Catherine Brahe, MD

Catherine Brahe, MD, is the founder and CEO of Cura Vita and the clinician behind EDEN, the modular electronic health record built by CURA Vento. A board-certified dermatologist and Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, she built Cura Vita around a frustration every clinician knows: the software meant to support care too often gets in the way of it.

Her perspective was forged in service. She earned her MD from Georgetown University as a U.S. Navy scholarship physician, then served as Battalion Surgeon for the 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, leading care for more than a thousand Marines and Sailors. She completed her dermatology residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego, where she was selected as Chief Resident. Years of practicing medicine in demanding environments taught her exactly what clinical tools should, and should not, ask of the people using them.

That conviction is the heart of Cura Vita. Catherine leads EDEN’s clinical product direction on a simple principle: the systems that run a practice should be shaped by the clinicians who use them, not imposed on them. CURA Vento builds EDEN, turning that principle into software practices actually want to open.
