Young Innovator, Big Impact: 14-Year-Old Develops AI App to Detect Heart Disease in Seconds
While celebrity controversies dominate headlines and social media trends, a quiet revolution in healthcare is being led by a 14-year-old innovator—far from the spotlight.
Siddharth Nandyala, born in Hyderabad and raised in the United States, has developed Circadian AI, a mobile application that can detect early signs of heart disease in just 7 seconds by analyzing heart sounds using advanced Artificial Intelligence.
This is not a classroom prototype or a science fair concept. Circadian AI has been tested on real patients. Over seven months, Siddharth dedicated himself to learning AI, coding the application, conducting medical research, and visiting hospitals across Andhra Pradesh, where the app’s results were compared with ECG and echocardiogram reports. The findings reportedly showed strong alignment—an extraordinary achievement for someone still in school.
Inspired by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Siddharth’s work has earned recognition from national and international leaders. Yet, despite its life-saving potential, the innovation has received limited attention from mainstream media.
At a time when medical accessibility and early diagnosis can save countless lives, Circadian AI represents how young minds can meaningfully contribute to global health challenges.
Siddharth Nandyala’s journey is a reminder that true heroes are not defined by fame or noise—but by impact.
It may be time we rethink who we celebrate and why.
