In a quiet town in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, 14-year-old Siddharth Nandyala is proving that big ideas can come from the youngest minds. While most kids his age are caught up in schoolwork and everyday fun, Siddharth has built something truly life-changing—Circadia V, an AI-powered app that can detect heart disease in just seven seconds. Yes, seven seconds! What started as a simple curiosity about technology turned into a powerful tool that could save lives. For Siddharth, this isn’t just about innovation—it’s about making sure no one loses a loved one because help came too late.
AI Meets Heart: A Teen's Vision, A Life-Saving App!
Imagine a tool that can detect heart disease in the time it takes to check your phone. That’s what Siddharth’s groundbreaking creation, Circadia V, does. With an astonishing accuracy rate of over 96%, this app listens to your heartbeats through a simple smartphone recording and detects any irregularities in seconds. It’s as though you have a doctor in your pocket, ready to catch the first signs of heart disease before it even has a chance to make an impact.
Tested on more than 15,000 patients across the U.S. and 700 in India, including at Guntur Government General Hospital (GGH), this app is proving that technology can make healthcare smarter, faster, and more accessible. Imagine the power of early detection at your fingertips, literally.
Young Genius, Big Heart: Teen Tech Marvel!
Siddharth’s journey isn’t your average success story. Born in Anantapur, India, he moved to the U.S. with his family in 2010. From a young age, Siddharth didn’t just want to play with toys, he wanted to play with ideas that could change the world. He wasn’t just content with being “good at tech” or dabbling in science. No, he was already setting his sights on how technology could transform healthcare.
At just 14 years old, he’s the CEO and founder of STEM IT, an organization dedicated to empowering young minds with the magic of coding, robotics, and AI.
He’s not just learning about the future; he’s helping others build it. And guess what? He’s also the world’s youngest AI-certified professional, holding prestigious certifications from Oracle and ARM. If you’re wondering what you were doing at 14, it probably wasn’t saving lives with groundbreaking AI tech.
Siddharth to SidHEART: A Government Standing Ovation!
When you do something as mind-blowing as Siddharth’s innovation, the world takes notice. Recently, he was invited by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu, to discuss Circadia V and its enormous potential. The Chief Minister was clearly impressed, saying, “This 14-year-old has made detecting heart-related problems easier! His app, Circadia V, is a medical breakthrough.” Naidu not only celebrated Siddharth’s brilliance but also promised full support to ensure that this life-saving tech reaches every corner of the world. And it doesn’t stop there, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav also joined in on the celebrations. The collective energy and excitement around this young innovator’s success is absolutely contagious.
So, what’s next for Siddharth? The future is calling, and it’s full of endless possibilities. For areas with limited access to doctors or expensive diagnostic tools, Circadia V could be a game-changer. With just a phone, anyone, anywhere, can get a quick, accurate heart check. This is the power of AI: removing barriers and giving everyone the chance to live healthier lives, no matter where they live or what they can afford.
From Heartbeats to Breakthroughs: Age Is Just a Number!
Siddharth’s story is proof that age doesn’t define your potential, your passion does. He’s taken the world by storm, showing us all that even the youngest minds can be the ones who lead us into a new era. His innovation is about more than just technology; it’s about creating solutions that change lives, lift communities, and inspire generations to come.
As Siddharth continues to develop and expand Circadia V, there’s no doubt that this is just the beginning. What he’s already achieved at 14 is nothing short of extraordinary, but one thing is clear: his journey is only going to get bigger, bolder, and more impactful. He’s lighting the path for the innovators of tomorrow, reminding us all that no dream is too big when you’re determined to make a difference.
