DARVIS
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.
