Siddharth Nandyala, a 14-year-old teenager from Dallas, has developed an AI-powered smartphone app called Circadian AI, which can detect heart disease within 7 seconds based only on sound.
It’s safe to say that Siddharth Nandyala is not your typical 14-year-old. He is the world’s youngest AI-certified professional, holding certifications from both Oracle and ARM, and he is poised to revolutionize cardiovascular disease detection with an AI-powered smartphone app capable of detecting heart disease in seconds by analyzing heart sound recordings. Circadian AI reportedly uses advanced algorithms that analyze heart sounds picked up by a smartphone and quickly provide a diagnosis that could save the user’s life. The innovative app has been tested on over 15,000 patients in the US and 700 patients in India, with an accuracy of 96 percent.
“I am very impressed by Siddharth’s extraordinary talent and dedication to using technology for the benefit of humankind,” Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu recently said after meeting the 14-year-old prodigy. “At such a young age, he is an inspiration to us all. I wholeheartedly encourage him to pursue his passion for healthcare technology and assure him of our full support in all his endeavours.”
According to the Times of India, Circadian AI underwent rigorous testing at the Government General Hospital in Guntur, India, where it demonstrated its ability to quickly and accurately identify heart conditions. The young innovator presented his invention during the latest edition of the Global Artificial Intelligence Summit in Hyderabad, where he explained how his technology can expand access to healthcare services in an efficient and inclusive manner.

Siddarth has explained that Circadian AI was not designed to be the world’s most advanced cardiovascular disease detection tool. Its biggest strengths are accessibility and ease of use. During the summit in Hyderabad, he emphasized that his goal is to bring this tool to communities with limited medical coverage, where rapid diagnoses can mean the difference between life and death.
Nandyala completed his schooling at Texas-based Lawler Middle School and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas.
