Hippolite O Amadi

Hippolite’s engineering and medical career has lasted over three decades, since 1987, cutting across engineering-in-healthcare, orthopaedics and neonatology research. His current global prowess as an iconic contributor to medical innovations on neonatology in the world has been greatly influenced by his academic exploits, both as a student and later staff/Professor at the prestigious Imperial College London, United Kingdom. During this period, he had been celebrated in innovation and discoveries across medical disciplines as: (1) The discovery of the mathematical model that relates the capsular-insertion neck of the human proximal humerus to its anatomical neck in 2006; a discovery that enhanced the development of modern predictive tools for the planning of shoulder surgeries (2) The innovation of Recycled Incubator Technology (RIT) for neonatal incubator interventions in 2003 (3) The discovery of tropical Evening-fever Syndrome (EFS) in the neonate in 2012 and its antidote against neonatal hyperthermia in 2014 (4) The innovation of the Handy Approach (HHA) in 2012 and the Initial set-point algorithm (HISA) in 2016 for interventions against high neonatal mortality orchestrated by high incidence of neonatal thermal stress in low and middle-income countries (5) The innovation of Politeheart ventilator - a bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device in 2017 (6) The innovation of Polite-oxygen supply splitter system -the PSS - in 2019 (7) The invention of Polite02Blend in 2019 - an oxygen-air blender system for neonatal respiratory support, etc.
