PhD Engineering student Yusuf Bilesanmi from Nigeria and his team of fellow engineers and researchers saw an opportunity to develop a game-changing apparatus called the ShiVent ventilator.

AS THE global Covid-19 pandemic continues into its second year, countries around the world have had to think of innovative ways to lessen the burden on their hospitals, amid a dire shortage of critical medical equipment that could make the difference between life and death.

Bilesanmi, 37, recently won the Africa Prize One to Watch award from the Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK. Bilesanmi is a family guy who comes from humble beginnings. Despite developing one of the most advanced pieces of medical technology this century, he hasn’t forgotten where he comes from, nor does he shy away from showing his affection for his family, which he often does on social media.

According to the developer, the system works by connecting hospital patients to an existing oxygen source and blends air with the high-flow oxygen supply.
