“I wholeheartedly encourage him to pursue his passion"
Siddarth Nandyala is making waves in artificial intelligence and healthcare with his groundbreaking mobile application, Circadian AI.
The 14-year-old from Frisco, Texas, is the world’s youngest certified AI professional and has developed a tool that can detect heart-related conditions within seconds.
Experts are calling it a potential medical breakthrough, with the promise of improving early diagnosis and making healthcare more accessible globally.
Circadian AI uses smartphone-based heart sound recordings to identify cardiovascular conditions, revolutionizing the way heart diseases are diagnosed.
The technology has been tested on over 15,000 patients in the US and 700 in India, including at Guntur Government General Hospital (GGH) in Andhra Pradesh.
With a 96% accuracy rate, the app offers a promising solution for early detection, allowing healthcare professionals to diagnose patients quickly and accurately, even in remote or underserved areas.
Siddarth’s innovation has attracted attention from prominent figures in the medical and political arenas.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu praised the young prodigy, stating:
“I wholeheartedly encourage him to pursue his passion for healthcare technology and assure him of our full support in all his endeavours.”
Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan also acknowledged his achievements, emphasising the potential of his work to reshape healthcare in India and beyond.
His contributions were highlighted at the Global AI Summit in Hyderabad in 2024, where he shared his vision for AI’s transformative role in the future of medicine and technology.
Originally from Anantapur, India, Siddarth is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas.
Before his college journey, he studied at Lawler Middle School in Texas.
His passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education led him to found STEM IT in 2023.
The initiative aims to make STEM education more accessible by providing training in coding, robotics, and AI.
Through this programme, Siddarth Nandyala is helping students gain the skills necessary to thrive in today’s tech-driven world.
In addition to his work in healthcare, Siddarth is also focusing on prosthetic technology.
Using electroencephalography (EEG) technology, his innovation allows users to control prosthetic limbs with their thoughts.
Traditional prosthetic arms can cost over $400,000, but Siddarth’s design aims to reduce costs to just $300, making them more affordable, particularly for children.
His remarkable achievements have earned him multiple accolades, including the Innovator of the Year (2023) award from the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and the title of National STEM Champion.
His work continues to inspire young minds around the world, proving that age is no barrier to innovation and making a lasting impact on the world.
