Young entrepreneur Siddarth Nandyala is making headlines for his groundbreaking mobile application designed for the early detection of heart-related issues. The 14-year-old tech prodigy from Dallas, US, holds the title of the world’s youngest certified AI professional. He has developed an app called Circadian AI, which is being hailed as a ‘medical breakthrough.’ The app claims to detect heart-related conditions within seconds, potentially revolutionising early diagnosis and healthcare accessibility.

The app was reportedly tested at Guntur Government General Hospital (GGH), in Andhra Pradesh, showcasing its potential in real-world medical applications. Following the feat, the NRI student of Andhra origin met the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan who were left impressed by him,

Nandyala’s Circadian AI uses smartphone-based heart sound recordings to detect heart-related conditions. The app has been tested on over 15,000 patients in the US and has also been used by approximately 700 patients in India, delivering a 96% accuracy,  Naidu said in a post on X.  Calling Nandyala an inspiration, the Andhra Pradesh CM added, “I wholeheartedly encourage him to pursue his passion for healthcare technology and assure him of our full support in all his endeavours.”

The young prodigy was also spotted at the Global AI Summit in Hyderabad, held in September last year, where he was given the platform to share his vision for the future of AI.

On his LinkedIn account, Nandyala says his mission is to redefine STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and make it more accessible. Nandyala is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program at The University of Texas at Dallas. He completed his schooling at Texas-based Lawler Middle School.

In 2023, he founded STEM IT, which focuses on training students with the skills to deal with the latest technologies. He is also working on a project to develop more affordable prosthetic arm technology. According to his LinkedIn profile, the 14-year-old has received many awards, including Innovator of the Year (2023) by the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and National STEM Champion.
