Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu recently met 14-year-old Siddharth Nandyala, an Indian-origin student who has developed an innovative AI application named CircadiaV, designed to detect heart diseases in just seven seconds.
The meeting took place at the Secretariat, where Naidu praised Siddharth’s groundbreaking work and assured him of the government’s support for future innovations in healthcare technology.
Siddharth, originally from Anantapur and currently residing in Frisco, Texas, is recognized as the world’s youngest AI-certified professional, holding certifications from Oracle and ARM. His app, CircadiaV, utilizes smartphone-based heart sound recordings to identify potential cardiovascular issues with over 96% accuracy. This technology has already been tested on more than 15,000 patients in the United States and approximately 700 patients in India, including trials at the Guntur Government General Hospital.
During their half-hour discussion, Naidu expressed his admiration for Siddharth’s talent and dedication to using technology for societal benefits. He emphasized the importance of nurturing global Telugu talent in making significant contributions to science and technology. Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan also congratulated Siddharth for his remarkable achievement at such a young age.
Naidu took to social media to share his excitement about meeting Siddharth, highlighting the app’s potential to revolutionize early detection of heart-related problems. “This 14-year-old has made detecting heart-related problems easier! I am absolutely delighted to meet Siddharth Nandyala,” he wrote.
Siddharth’s mission goes beyond just developing an app; he aims to make early detection of cardiovascular diseases accessible and efficient, particularly in areas with limited medical infrastructure. His work has garnered attention not only for its technological innovation but also for its potential impact on public health.
