HydroPowered.org Art, Fun, Awareness, and Technology for Persons with Hydrocephalus About HydroPowered
At left, Stephen Dolle is seen leading a 2012 4th of July drumming event for kids & families. Drum circles are an excellent therapeutic activity for persons affected by hydrocephalus. Stephen puts on a lot of drumming events & workshops as facilitator & organizer. This page provides additional information on drum circles. Stephen developed hydrocephalus in 1992 following an automobile accident while returning home from a fundraising event with Great American Race that year in Costa Mesa, California. Stephen had been a nuclear medicine technologist since 1976, and had founded his own imaging company, Certified Nuclear Imaging, in 1982. He had written & provided hundreds of imaging procedures for hydrocephalus & CNS shunt malfunction. He had also been active in the arts, coaching youth sports, and fundraising for sports, entertainment, hospitals, and the area chamber of commerce.
Our Mission
My goal in fundraising is to facilitate other's efforts in raising funds for hydrocephalus research, and
also for
hydrocephalus awareness and education. My real goal is to raise $100M for
hydrocephalus and use it for "open
source"
I've written a blog on ways that HydroPowered.org could be used for hydrocephalus awareness & fundraising at Cause Marketing Web Site for Hydrocephalus uses Super-Hero Theme. I will continue to add new HydroPowered art, photos, and themes.
Read our stories on the Incredible Hulk for I am touched by the personal stories and lives of those with hydrocephalus, and find them to be Super-Heroes who often go unrecognized. I would like to bring attention to those living with hydrocephalus and their Super-Hero activities. Visit our HydroPowered NEWS and read up on the latest goings on. Going forward ...... I wish you success in your health & endeavors. Stephen Dolle Founder & webmaster

After his brain injury and initial shunt surgeries in 1992-93,
he became intricately
involved in Food & Drug Administration (FDA) affairs and patient advocacy
for hydrocephalus & CNS shunt technology. In 1996, he petitioned the Food & Drug Administration on issues with
anti-siphon CNS shunts, then designed & patented a mobile app for hydrocephalus
to run on a PDA (1997).
He was instrumental in bringing about the FDA's 1999 STAMP
Conference on Shunt Technology in Washington, D.C. His commitment to
hydrocephalus science, technology,
and advocacy led to his being written about in the Orange County Business
Journal, and termed a "visionary & neurosciences pioneer" by Dr. Eldon
Foltz at the Department of Neurosurgery, University of California at
Irvine. Stephen's neurosciences accomplishments include mHealth designs, music &
drumming therapy,
sensory processing disorders (SPD), cognitive
disabilities, cognitive accessibility, assistive cognitive technologies, and
drumming for the brain. He looks to have an mHealth app for monitoring made
available. Stephen is available for keynote speaking
on hydrocephalus and his work in the neurosciences. Visit
technology solutions
in hydrocephalus and brain health, including, new CNS shunt designs from
implantable sensors to mHealth mobile apps.
Hydrocephalus remains vastly underfunded and many years behind in technological
advances. I believe this platform and open source concept could also facilitate
more dialogue on innovations
for hydrocephalus care and treatment. Hydrocephalus is the leading neurosurgical
condition in children, affecting individuals in-utero, up to seniors very late in
life.
