Diagnosing heart disease using just a phone—and in just a few seconds? It’s now possible thanks to a revolutionary app called Circadian AI. Designed to enable fast and accessible diagnostics, this technology is poised to transform frontline healthcare.

Fast and Accurate Diagnosis ⏱️

Circadian AI can detect cardiac anomalies in under 7 seconds—just by analyzing heart sounds recorded through a smartphone. With an accuracy rate of over 96%, the AI has already been tested on more than 15,000 patients in the U.S. and hundreds in India. It doesn’t require any specialized equipment and offers a fast, reliable, and accessible solution, particularly in underserved areas.

The principle is simple: record heart sounds, then let a machine-learning model—trained on a large medical dataset—analyze the data. An instant diagnosis is generated. It’s a potential game-changer for primary healthcare.

A 14-Year-Old Prodigy Behind the Innovation 🧠

Behind this breakthrough is Siddarth Nandyala, a 14-year-old from Dallas, Texas. Already recognized as the world’s youngest certified AI professional, Siddarth is on a mission to make healthcare more accessible through technology.

And this isn’t his first accomplishment: at age 13, he founded STEM IT, an educational platform that provides students with hands-on experiences in coding, robotics, and math. The young prodigy has received numerous awards, including Innovator of the Year 2023 from the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, and the title of National STEM Festival Champion in 2024.

His work has also garnered international attention. In India, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh praised him on X after meeting him at a conference.

Siddarth has been accepted early into the Computer Science bachelor’s program at the University of Texas at Dallas, where he will join the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science in Fall 2025.

“My passion for making a positive impact drives me to keep innovating,” he told Bold Journey in an interview.

Thanks to Circadian AI, heart health enters a new era: faster, more accessible, and more connected. And behind this impressive tech achievement, a teenager reminds us that innovation knows no age.
