Her Story
About Rebecca
Rebecca Meyer, RN, is a Clinical Field Specialist specializing in advanced kidney function assessment technology and clinical adoption within complex healthcare systems. She began her healthcare career in 2015 as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), building a strong foundation in patient care before earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Toledo College of Nursing. She went on to work as an ICU float pool nurse, gaining broad experience across multiple critical care specialties including neuro, cardiac, trauma, medical, and transplant intensive care units.
Her clinical expertise and adaptability led her from bedside nursing into medical device sales, where she transitioned into a Clinical Consultant role supporting critical care technologies. In this capacity, she worked closely with hospitals to educate clinicians, support product implementation, and drive adoption of kidney replacement therapies and related innovations. She now serves in a key commercial and clinical leadership role with MediBeacon Inc., a startup at the forefront of renal diagnostics, where she is helping introduce and scale a novel transdermal GFR monitoring platform.
In her current role, Rebecca travels extensively across the United States and internationally, delivering clinical education sessions, lectures, and training programs that can range from brief in-services to in-depth hour-long presentations for hospital teams. She collaborates directly with nephrologists, onco-nephrologists, nursing leaders, and executive stakeholders to support commercialization efforts and expand adoption of next-generation kidney function technology. At the center of her work is a first-of-its-kind transdermal GFR sensor that measures kidney function without reliance on traditional demographic variables such as age or race, reflecting a shift toward more precise and equitable diagnostics. Throughout her career, she has consistently advanced by embracing new opportunities, evolving roles, and a commitment to continuous learning, all while remaining focused on improving patient care and clinical outcomes.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Rebecca
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say it's as simple as keeping a positive mental attitude and never forgetting who I am. Really, it's about being authentic. I think that goes a long way - just really showing up, being honest, and being authentic to yourself. That always comes back to you, whether it's doctors, customers, or colleagues. People can tell when they're talking to someone they can trust, someone genuine and reliable.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say be true to yourself. Make sure you know you. Trust actions more than words in your friendships, dating, and work. Don't shrink yourself to make other people comfortable. Take up as much space as you need to. Confidence is built through doing hard things and not waiting until you feel ready. Sometimes life will just give you an opportunity, and I say, take it. I've done that my whole professional career, and every time it has rewarded me with something new each year, and at every turn, truly. You don't need to have your entire life figured out at that exact moment all the time. Sometimes life will just kind of show you what you need to know. And if you take that step and you don't wait until you feel ready, opportunities often will come.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I would say some of the biggest challenges are just sometimes getting out there with outreach. Anytime you're launching a product, it's just getting the word out there and having the right messaging, and making sure people fully understand what's going on. But opportunity-wise, I feel like as long as me and my crew are all confident and willing to do it, we always get a positive result. So it's just showing the difference in patient care and how it can really make a difference. And that's kind of what we're doing with a new transdermal GFR sensor. It's never been envisioned before, never been used, in a whole new way of measuring GFR without looking at race, age, and all that kind of stuff.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Communication is huge, especially as I'm doing lectures, speaking, and having to talk about this device in general. Being clear, authentic, and able to connect with people really matters. For me, it all comes back to patient impact and improving outcomes. That's the driving force behind everything I do. I also value being efficient, building trust and transparency, and having vision and leadership in all aspects of my life.
