Circadian AI app, developed by 14-year-old Siddharth Nandyala

 The “Circadian AI” app, developed by 14-year-old Siddharth Nandyala from Frisco, Texas, is gaining attention around the world. The app, which can detect heart abnormalities in just seven seconds, has been shown to be more than 96 percent accurate in tests. It was tested on about eighteen thousand five hundred patients in the US and India. The tests, which involved about fifteen thousand people in the US and about three thousand five hundred in India, were effective.

The way the app works is very simple. When a smartphone is held close to the heart and records the heart sound, the sound is cleaned using noise cancellation technology and then evaluated using AI models for heart symptoms. It is becoming a primary screening tool for doctors. While it does not replace traditional tests such as electrocardiogram (EKG) and echocardiogram, it is very helpful in detecting symptoms early and encouraging medical attention.

The app is currently only used by clinical professionals.  It is not yet available for public use, but experts see it as a potential that could bring about a big change in the future of healthcare.

Siddharth has already launched a startup called STEM-IT. Its goal is to make science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects more accessible and affordable for students. In addition, while continuing his computer science studies at UT Austin, he is also working on research into early detection of respiratory diseases.

Siddharth’s efforts to pave the way for innovation in the field of healthcare at such a young age demonstrate the strength and potential of teenagers.
