Siddharth Nandyala: Hyd Teen Creates AI Tool To Detect Heart Diseases In Seconds

Meet 14-year-old Siddarth Nandyala, a young entrepreneur from Dallas, US, who is making waves in the tech and medical worlds with a mobile application he designed for the early detection of heart-related issues. Nandyala is the world’s youngest certified AI professional, who has also developed an innovative app called Circadian AI, hailed as a true ‘medical breakthrough.’

Built to make healthcare more accessible and proactive, this technology uses smartphone-based heart sound recordings to detect cardiac conditions within seconds. 

Real-World Application

Circadian AI was recently piloted at Guntur Government General Hospital (GGH) in Andhra Pradesh, to test its real-world application, and the results reported an impressive 96% accuracy rate. The app has already been tested on more than 15,000 patients in the US and about 700 patients in India. He also met with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, both of whom were deeply impressed by his work.

In a post on X, CM Naidu praised the teen, “I wholeheartedly encourage him to pursue his passion for healthcare technology and assure him of our full support in all his endeavours.”
