Talk about a child with a lot of heart.
A 14-year-old from Frisco, Texas, developed an initial smartphone app to detect the early sign of heart disease in just seven seconds.
Circian it records heart sounds, filters ambient noise and analyzes data using a cloud-based machinery learning model all by placing a smartphone near the chest.
It can identify arrhythmias, irregular heart rate, early signs of heart failure, indicators of coronary artery disease and heart valve abnormalities.
The motivation of Siddarth Nandyala stemmed from his desire to use him to help people and revolutionize the health care system.
“What I really interested in the health care of the artificial intelligence was the huge amount of impact and the change that can be made,” he recently told Smithsonian Magazine.
“Even a life discovered is a saved life.”
He spent months collecting data from hospitals in the US and India, collaborating with medical professionals and patients to refine his application.
Clinical studies included approximately 15,000 patients in the US and about 3,500 in India, with the achievement of the application over 96% accuracy in detecting heart abnormalities, according to Nandyala.
Currently, that circadian is only aimed at clinical use by trained personnel, as it requires proper understanding to operate effectively.
Nandyala emphasized that the application is a tool in advance and not a replacement of traditional diagnostic methods as ECG.
The young man’s innovation has attracted attention from the medical professional, who praised the potential of the application to advance medical care, especially in areas with limited access to health care.
Cardiovascular distribution, which includes heart attack and stroke, is no. 1 killer worldwide, responsible for about 32% of global deaths.
“An early possible diagnosis in patients who may otherwise have not had access to medical care may eventually reduce long -term morbidity and mortality from this condition,” Jameel Ahmed, an electrophysiologist at the State University of Luiziana, told Smithsonian Mag.
This is not Nandyala’s first technological innovation.
He previously designed a low-cost prosthetic wing and found Stem IT-A Startup that creates scientific and technological sets for students.
His contributions have acquired him a certificate of recognition from the US House of Representatives and a congratulatory letter from then President Joe Biden.
At only 14 years old, he is already a beginner studying computers at the University of Texas.
In the future, he would like to expand the application skills to detect lung related diseases such as pneumonia and pulmonary embolism using similar sound analysis techniques.
“I want to create an inheritance where inventors and innovators can push the borders and go beyond their comfort zone, actually changing the world for good,” Nandyala Style Frisco told when he was 13.
And so he is.
