14-Year-Old Siddharth Nandyala Develops AI App To Detect Heart Disease In 7 Seconds
Last Updated: 15,000 American and 3,500 Indian patients in clinical trials proved the app's accuracy exceeding 96%, showcasing its global potential A 14-year-old boy from Texas has astonished the medical community with his groundbreaking invention of an app that can detect heart disease in just 7 seconds. According to the New York Post, Siddharth Nandyala from Frisco has developed Circadian AI, a smartphone app that can identify early symptoms of heart disease with remarkable accuracy. By placing the smartphone near the chest, the app records the heartbeat, removes background noise, and uses a cloud-based machine learning model to analyse the data. It is capable of detecting conditions such as arrhythmia, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and valve problems. Siddharth, a student at the University of Texas, aims to revolutionise the health sector with the help of artificial intelligence. He gathered data from hospitals in the US and India and refined the app in collaboration with medical professionals. Clinical trials involving 15,000 American and 3,500 Indian patients demonstrated the app's impressive accuracy of over 96%. Currently, the app is intended for use by trained medical personnel and serves as a pre-screening tool rather than a replacement for traditional methods like EKG. Cardiologists have praised Siddharth's innovation, particularly for its potential in areas with limited healthcare facilities. This innovation addresses a critical need, as heart disease accounts for approximately 32% of global deaths. According to Dr. Jamila Ahmed of Louisiana State University, 'Early potential diagnosis in patients who cannot access medical care can save their lives," underscoring the immense potential of Siddharth's work. This isn't Siddharth's first foray into impactful innovation. A computer science student at the University of Texas, he previously created a low-cost prosthetic arm and founded STEM IT, a startup providing science-technology kits for students. His contributions have garnered significant recognition, including a Certificate of Recognition from the US House of Representatives and a congratulatory letter from then-President Joe Biden. Looking ahead, Siddharth aims to expand his app's capabilities to identify lung diseases such as pneumonia and pulmonary embolism. 'I want to bring a change that makes the world better, where innovators can step out of their comfort zone and do something big," he said. First Published: June 10, 2025, 19:36 IST

14-year-old Andhra-origin tech whiz creates AI app that detects signs of heart failure in 7 seconds, following low-cost prosthetic arm success
Agencies Fourteen-year-old Siddharth Nandyala, of Andhra origin and based in Texas, has developed Circadian AI, an app that detects early signs of heart failure in just seven seconds. A 14-year-old prodigy of Andhra origin, Siddharth Nandyala, has developed an extraordinary AI-powered app capable of detecting early signs of heart failure and other heart abnormalities within seven seconds. His breakthrough invention, Circadian AI, uses a smartphone's microphone to record heart sounds, analyze them with cloud-based machine learning, and provide rapid pre-screening for potentially life-threatening conditions. Hailing from Frisco, Texas, Siddharth combined his passion for healthcare and artificial intelligence to create an app that records heart sounds while filtering out background noise. By simply placing a smartphone near the chest, Circadian AI can identify arrhythmias, irregular heartbeats, coronary artery disease markers, and valve abnormalities. Achieving over 96% accuracy in clinical trials involving nearly 19,000 patients across the US and India, this innovation promises to transform early diagnosis. Siddharth explained to Smithsonian magazine that his drive came from wanting to make a meaningful impact. 'Even one life detected is one life saved,' he said. Despite the app's sophistication, he emphasized that it is a screening tool designed for clinical use by trained professionals and not a replacement for traditional diagnostics like EKGs. Earlier this year, Siddharth's groundbreaking work caught the attention of Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. Following successful testing of Circadian AI at Guntur Government General Hospital, Siddharth was invited to meet the Chief Minister, who praised his innovation and pledged full government support for further AI research. Naidu highlighted the significance of a young Telugu talent making waves globally in healthcare technology. Accompanied by his father and the state's Health Minister, Siddharth's visit underscored the growing recognition of his potential to contribute both in the US and India. This isn't Siddharth's first feat. He has previously designed a low-cost prosthetic arm and founded STEM IT, a startup promoting science education. Now a freshman studying computer science at the University of Texas, Siddharth plans to expand Circadian AI's capabilities to detect lung illnesses such as pneumonia and pulmonary embolism through similar sound analysis. Experts like electrophysiologist Dr. Jameel Ahmed recognize the app's promise in reducing heart disease morbidity and mortality by enabling early detection, especially in regions with limited medical access. Cardiovascular diseases remain the world's leading cause of death, making innovations like Siddharth's all the more vital. Siddharth's ambition transcends personal success. 'I want to create a legacy where inventors and innovators push beyond their limits to change the world for the better,' he told Frisco Style . His remarkable journey from an Andhra family settled in Texas to becoming a global healthcare technology pioneer is inspiring a new generation of young inventors worldwide. In just seven seconds, this teenager's app could save countless lives — proving that sometimes, the biggest heart comes in the smallest packages.

Indian-American teen develops app that can detect early signs of heart disease in just seven seconds
Image credits: X/@OddityCentral In the United States an estimated 48% of adults or 121.5 million people, have some form of cardiovascular disease according to the American Heart Association. Cardiovascular diseases which include heart attack and stroke are the No. 1 killer worldwide, responsible for about 32% of global deaths. The risk of these deaths can be reduced with earlier detection. Now, a 14-year-old from Frisco, Texas, has developed a ground-breaking smartphone app to detect early signs of heart disease in just seven seconds. Circadian AI, the app records heart sounds, filters out ambient noise and analyses the data using a cloud-based machine learning model- all by placing a smartphone near the chest. The app identifies arrhythmias, irregular heartbeats, early signs of heart failure, indicators of coronary artery disease and heart valve abnormalities. Siddharth Nandyala's motivation stemmed from his desire to use AI to help people and revolutionize the healthcare system. 'What really took my interest in the healthcare side of artificial intelligence was the sheer amount of impact and the change that can be made,' he told the Smithsonian magazine. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo 'Even one life detected is one life saved' he added.

Currently, the app is intended only for clinical use by trained personnel, as it requires proper understanding to operate effectively. Nandyala emphasized that it is a pre-screening tool and not a replacement for traditional diagnostic methods like EKGs. Medical professionals praised the app's potential to advance medical care, especially in areas with limited access to healthcare. 'An early potential diagnosis in patients who otherwise may not have had access to medical care may ultimately reduce long-term morbidity and mortality from this condition,' Jameel Ahmed, an electrophysiologist at Louisiana State University, told the magazine. For the 14-year-old, this is not his first innovative work of technology. He previously designed a low-cost prosthetic arm and founded STEM IT- a startup that creates science and technology kits for students. His work has earned him a Certificate of Recognition from the US House of Representatives and a letter of congratulations from then-President Joe Biden . The young innovator is already a freshman studying computer science at the University of Texas. He hopes to expand the app's capabilities to detect lung-related illnesses pneumonia and pulmonary embolism using similar techniques.
