My name is Troy, and I am a recent Ostomy patient who received my stoma on March 31, 2026, under the care of Dr. Yair Lotan at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. Experiencing the challenges of living with an ostomy firsthand inspired me to seek a better solution—not just for myself, but for millions of others facing similar struggles.
I am the owner and inventor of the TASI bladder system, the world's first fully artificial implantable human bladder "organ". Unlike existing "devices", and medical techniques, TASI is designed to fully replicate normal bladder functions in every phase, offering hope for a future where ostomy patients can regain dignity and live without the limitations imposed by current medical alternatives. The TASI is currently under U.S. nonprovisional Patent Pending status, Application Number 19/656,943, and is being considered for research by Dr. Yair Lotan, Chief Urologist and vice-chair at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The invention has received strong support from Medical Doctor, surgeon, and PhD-trained scientist, Dr. Gayane Badalian-very, who first introduced TASI to Dr. Lotan and UT Southwestern for collaboration.
Funds raised through this campaign will help increase awareness within the ostomy and cancer communities, develop educational materials and patient advocacy resources, support intellectual property protection and legal groundwork, advance early-stage development and collaboration efforts, and amplify patient voices demanding better solutions. I am asking for your support to help restore dignity and hope for millions of ostomy patients by funding the TASI artificial bladder. Your contribution will help bring this life-changing innovation closer to reality.
