Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu recently held an inspiring meeting with Siddharth Nandyala, a 14-year-old Indian-American student celebrated as the world’s youngest AI-certified professional. Siddharth, originally from Anantapur and now residing in Dallas, Texas, has gained international recognition for developing CircadiaV, an AI-powered medical application capable of detecting heart diseases in a groundbreaking seven seconds. Certified by global tech giants Oracle and ARM, Siddharth’s achievements have positioned him as a rising star in the field of artificial intelligence and healthcare technology.
The app, CircadiaV, harnesses advanced machine-learning algorithms to analyze heart sound recordings captured through a smartphone. It boasts an impressive accuracy rate of over 96%, making it a powerful tool for early detection of cardiovascular diseases — a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The technology has already been tested on over 15,000 patients in the United States and 700 patients in India, including live demonstrations conducted by Siddharth himself at the Guntur Government General Hospital. His hands-on approach and willingness to personally test the app on patients showcased his remarkable dedication and belief in his creation’s potential to transform lives.
Moved by Siddharth’s groundbreaking work, Chandrababu Naidu invited him to the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat for a detailed discussion about his innovations. The meeting lasted nearly 30 minutes, during which the Chief Minister carefully reviewed Siddharth’s profile and the technology behind CircadiaV. He expressed deep admiration for the teenager’s remarkable intellect and unwavering passion for improving global healthcare. Naidu praised Siddharth not only as a prodigious talent but also as a proud representative of Andhra Pradesh’s rich legacy of fostering brilliant minds that make an impact on the world stage.
Naidu emphasized his vision of nurturing young innovators like Siddharth, who are poised to make revolutionary contributions to science and technology. He assured the young prodigy that the Andhra Pradesh government would extend full support to facilitate his research, develop his technology further, and help expand the reach of CircadiaV to underserved rural communities, where early detection of heart conditions could save countless lives. Naidu expressed his belief that Siddharth’s work could complement the state’s ongoing efforts to improve public healthcare infrastructure and provide affordable medical solutions to the people of Andhra Pradesh and beyond.
Joining in the celebration of Siddharth’s achievements, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan also extended his congratulations, recognizing the teenager’s work as a beacon of inspiration for the youth of India. Siddharth was accompanied to the meeting by his father, Mahesh, and Health Minister Satyakumar Yadav, who commended his ingenuity and encouraged him to continue pushing the boundaries of medical technology.
After their meeting, Chandrababu Naidu took to social media to share his admiration for Siddharth’s extraordinary accomplishments, writing, “This 14-year-old has made detecting heart-related problems easier! I am absolutely delighted to meet Siddharth Nandyala, a young AI enthusiast from Dallas and the world’s youngest AI-certified professional, holding certifications from both Oracle and ARM. Siddharth’s app, CircadiaV, is a medical breakthrough that can detect heart-related issues within seconds.”
The Chief Minister went on to express his deep appreciation for Siddharth’s relentless drive to use technology for the greater good, adding, “I am incredibly impressed by Siddharth’s outstanding talent and his passion for leveraging artificial intelligence to create a positive impact on healthcare. At such a young age, he embodies the spirit of innovation and serves as an inspiration to us all. I wholeheartedly encourage him to pursue his dreams in healthcare technology, and the Andhra Pradesh government will stand by him in all his future endeavors.”
Siddharth’s journey from Anantapur to global recognition as a trailblazing AI innovator serves as a powerful reminder of the untapped potential among young minds. His success story resonates not only as a personal triumph but also as a symbol of the growing influence of Indian-origin talent on the international stage. The combination of his youthful enthusiasm, technical brilliance, and unwavering commitment to improving human health has inspired countless students, researchers, and technology enthusiasts worldwide.
His work also opens up new possibilities for the integration of AI in the medical field — particularly in regions with limited access to specialized healthcare services. By enabling rapid, reliable, and affordable heart disease detection through a smartphone, CircadiaV holds the potential to bridge the gap between advanced medical diagnostics and rural healthcare accessibility, aligning with the broader global goal of achieving universal healthcare coverage.
As Siddharth continues his remarkable journey, his story stands as a testament to what’s possible when passion meets purpose — proving that innovation knows no age and that the next generation of pioneers is already here, shaping the future one breakthrough at a time.
