A 14-year-old NRI student, Siddharth Nandyala , has developed an AI-powered app that can detect heart issues in just seven seconds, drawing praise from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. The app, called CircadiaV, was tested at Guntur Government General Hospital (GGH), where it demonstrated real-world potential in identifying cardiac conditions quickly and accurately. CircadiaV uses advanced algorithms to analyze patient data and flag potential heart ailments, reducing the time needed for detection and diagnosis. His innovation and creativity will open doors for more children to explore their interest in the world of information and science.

Praising Siddharth’s good work, CM Naidu wrote in a post on X, “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, Circadian AI, is a medical breakthrough that can detect heart-related issues within seconds.”

Siddharth did a commendable job for his tender age. His vision and success at such a young age prove that children can be molded into becoming child prodigies. Certain strategies may help in boosting creativity and innovation in children. Listed below are some of them:

Read together

The Child Mind Institute states that the most crucial thing you can do to support the development of your child's language pathways is to simply expose them to words. Children's language and cognitive abilities are maximized through reading and word exposure. The tactile sensation of holding or touching a book even aids in the cognitive development of infants.

Did you know that reading can help your youngster become more creative and adept at solving problems? Decide to read a chapter book or picture book together each day. Before you read a page together, ask your youngster to guess what it's about if your book has pictures. Children can practice reading comprehension and problem-solving skills with this.

Encourage their interests

Children's imaginative play and exploration can be strongly influenced by their interests. Offer them activities and materials that are relevant to their interests. For instance, read about planets and make creative projects with a space theme if they have a fascination with space.

A study conducted by the Early Child Development and Care Institute suggests that interest development should be encouraged throughout the early years, when small children exhibit natural curiosity during a sensitive learning phase. With young children, parents and educators can effectively foster cognitive and emotional growth and establish a culture of learning by utilizing genuine enthusiasm. Recognize the value of interest and prioritize developing it through both emotional and knowledge acquisition.

Ask what if questions

To promote children's creativity, teach them to question "What if?" Your kids are more likely to have original answers if you can encourage them to ask questions about the world and how it functions.

Be an example

It's important to show off your creative abilities since kids pick up on your example. Tell your kids about your artistic interests. To demonstrate creative thinking, solve problems creatively and out loud. Tell your kids about your artistic interests. To demonstrate creative thinking, solve problems creatively and out loud.

Try creativity

Set aside time for creative play, or leisure activities that stimulate imagination or curiosity. You may encourage creative play by giving your child a pack of crayons, paper, art supplies, small wires and science lab setup or by encouraging them to play pretend with their siblings.
