Robots Supporting Caregivers with Michael Bankowski

Michael Bankowski began his caregiving journey at 11 years old, caring for his grandmother through cancer, and later spent more than a year and a half caring for his mother through stomach cancer. Altogether, he spent more than a decade as a family caregiver — experiences that ultimately shaped his life's work as a nursing home administrator, home care agency founder, and today as the CEO of Prosperous Robotics, where he is developing ROSE, a caregiver robot designed to protect and empower — not replace — the people who care for our loved ones. In this episode, Michael shares his inspiring journey from military service and caregiving to pioneering AI robotics for healthcare. Discover how his innovations aim to transform caregiving, empower patients, and address the global caregiver shortage.
