Michael Prokopis is the CEO of DARVIS, a Houston-based AI and computer vision company that gives hospitals real-time visibility into their inventory. A former Navy Surface Warfare Officer and Gulf War veteran turned healthcare supply chain executive, he spent 25+ years managing more than $3.2 billion in spend and driving $360M+ in savings at institutions including MD Anderson Cancer Center and Steward Health Care before crossing to the other side of the table to run the technology company he once wanted to buy from.
DARVIS is a health-tech company that uses AI-powered computer vision to give hospitals real-time visibility into their supply rooms. Its flagship product, Digital Shelves, uses smart PTZ cameras to continuously monitor inventory fill-levels and scan barcodes automatically, replacing manual counting with live consumption data, predictive demand planning, and automated reordering. Born in the gaming industry in 2015, the company pivoted to healthcare supply chain and now serves systems such as MD Anderson Cancer Center while operating from Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a hub in Hamburg, Germany, and a presence in Houston, Texas.
