14-Year-Old NRI Creates AI App to Detect Heart Disease in Just 7 Seconds
Heart attacks are sudden and devastating, affecting not just the person but their entire family and community. Losing someone to a heart attack is painful, and many wish they could have done something to prevent it.
In a major step towards early detection, 14-year-old NRI student Siddharth Nandyala has developed an AI-powered app called CircadiaV, which can detect heart disease in just seven seconds. His innovation has the potential to save countless lives by identifying heart problems early. Recognizing his achievement, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu invited Siddharth for a discussion on how the app could improve healthcare.
During the meeting, Naidu praised Siddharth’s efforts, calling CircadiaV a revolutionary tool for early heart disease detection. Siddharth, accompanied by his father Mahesh and Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav, explained how the app works.
Apart from creating CircadiaV, Siddharth is also the founder and CEO of STEM IT, a global initiative that promotes STEM education. Through this platform, he teaches students about coding, robotics, and AI, inspiring them to use technology for innovation.
