Just go back to your teenage times and reminisce what you were up to at age 14. Can’t remember even? Wondering why we are talking about it. Because at this tender age, a prodigy is transforming the medical field. No, we aren’t demeaning your teenage times but wish to bring your attention to this prodigy. We are talking about Siddharth Nandyala, a 14-year-old tech prodigy of Indian origin. What is so remarkable? This teenager is saving lives with his innovative AI-powered application, CircadiaV. How it is saving lives? By detecting heart diseases in just seven seconds. Shell-shocked? So is everyone!
His invention is praiseworthy, indeed. Siddharth even gained recognition from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Also, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan lauded him for his brilliant invention. In a country like India where we are struggling with rapidly developing heart conditions, CircadiaV can help with early detection and provide assistance to millions of people.
What is This App? – CircadiaV
Now, let’s find out what is so special about this invention. Siddharth’s AI-powered app CircadiaV uses advanced artificial intelligence and analyzes heart sound recordings. These heart sound recordings are captured via smartphones. But what is the X factor of this app? Well, the app provides you with an accuracy rate of over 96%. This accuracy was proved through the tests on more than 15,000 patients in the United States. In India, it conducted tests on 700 patients.
Also, CircadiaV had trials at Guntur Government General Hospital (GGH). Usually, it takes time to detect cardiovascular disease, sometimes too late. Not only this app reduces the time required for cardiovascular disease detection but also has the great capability to transform early diagnosis. For heart ailments, these early detections can provide timely treatment and can negate serious issues in the future.
How Does it Work?
So, how does it work? AI is everywhere, isn’t it? When a smartphone and AI come together, it can achieve unimaginable things. Such one thing is CircadiaV. Siddharth Nandyala’s app works on the same AI-driven process using smartphone technology. It’s a 3-step process that can detect heart diseases.
- Data Collection Using Smartphone
- AI Analysis & Detection
- Diagnostic Output
Initially, your rhythmic heartbeats will be captured via a smartphone. You have to place your smartphone near the chest to record heart sounds for just 7 seconds. CircadiaV app has a built-in microphone that captures acoustic patterns, including minute and subtle murmurs. Even if there are any irregular rhythms, will be captured through it. This data collection will further initiate 2nd process.
After this data collection, the recording will be enhanced through an AI-based amplification algorithm. This algorithm isolates heart-specific sounds from background noise. It ensures clarity even in non-clinical environments.
In the end, after analysis and detection, the app provides its diagnostic output. The results will be categorized as ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’ within seconds. The abnormal findings will allow you to seek further medical screening and the whole diagnostic data will be stored for easy tracking.
How Reliable is This App?
You might be wondering or raising eyebrows about the reliability of this app. This is inevitable. But let us assure you that the app had successful trials. In trials at Guntur Government General Hospital, CircadiaV flagged cases that were later confirmed by cardiologists. This proves its reliability in real-world scenarios.
For training app’s AI model, CircadiaV took over 15,000 patient samples from the U.S. and 700 from India. It can also detect irregularities such as valve defects, arrhythmias, or structural abnormalities. Also, the recording by app is compared to a database of known cardiovascular conditions using its deep learning algorithms. This whole process helps CircadiaV in achieving 96% accuracy in identifying possible heart issues.
The Possibilities:
This genius app can help millions of people all over the world. Nowadays heart ailments are increasing day by day, in India alone, over 50 million people are suffering from heart ailments. Most of these cases go unnoticed until the problem becomes serious. CircadiaV can be an affordable alternative to expensive medical equipment that can make early detection accessible in resource-limited regions such as villages and small towns.
Definitely, this invention is commendable whether we talk about its speed or portability. This app can reduce global cardiovascular mortality rates.
Telugu Talent Garnered Recognition & Support:
Of course, the future looks hopeful with such innovations. Just like how we are astonished by Siddharth’s innovation is getting all the attention it needs. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu invited Siddharth for an in-depth discussion at the Secretariat. Not only he reviewed the app’s capabilities but also praised Siddharth’s ingenuity. He described and elaborated that CircadiaV is a ‘medical breakthrough’ that can transform healthcare. For further research and development, now Siddharth has full government support.
On the other hand, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan lauded Siddharth’s achievement. He highlighted his contribution to AI-driven medical advancements. According to both leaders, Siddharth’s success is a representative of Telugu talent on the global stage.
Future Prospects by Andhra Pradesh Government:
Their discussion didn’t end on the praises. The Andhra Pradesh government has also expressed their interest in collaborating with Siddharth to include CircadiaV into state healthcare systems. If this materializes then this partnership will be the way for broader implementation of AI-driven solutions in India’s medical infrastructure.
Let’s Have a Look at Siddharth’s Journey!
In 2010, Anantapur (Andhra Pradesh) born Siddharth moved to the United States with his family. He currently resides in Frisco, Texas. Though he is of young age, he is already recognized as the world’s youngest AI-certified professional. He has credentials from Oracle and ARM. Surprised? Wait, there’s more. Young Siddharth is the founder and CEO. Don’t be gushed yet. His initiative, STEM IT is dedicated to promoting STEM education globally, and with it students with skills in coding, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
His achievements don’t just end here! From being named ‘Innovator of the Year’ by the Frisco Chamber of Commerce (2023) to receiving a letter of congratulations from U.S. President Joe Biden for his contributions to STEM education, Siddharth’s journey has just started. We believe there’s more to come.
Corporate Soldiers salutes Siddharth Nandyala’s innovative vision and CircadiaV. This achievement shows us how young minds can use technology to create such impactful solutions. We hope this story inspires a new generation of innovators to explore artificial intelligence for such solutions!
