Dr. Troy Hendrickson, MD, PhD

Founder

Dr. Troy Hendrickson, a Stanford pediatric resident physician with a PhD in tissue engineering and expertise in biodesign, is passionate about creating practical, patient-centered innovations. Inspired by his experiences seeing friends and patients struggle with asthma management, he recognized the challenges of carrying and using traditional spacers. Too often, people would skip their spacer because it was bulky and inconvenient, leading to ineffective treatment and preventable complications. Driven by these insights, Dr. Hendrickson focuses on designing portable, user-friendly solutions that integrate seamlessly into everyday life. His collapsible asthma spacer reflects his commitment to making life easier for patients, ensuring they can carry and use essential tools without disruption.
