A 16-year-old boy from Hosur has received an award by the President for his astonishing research, his invention could possibly save many lives.

Nowadays most of the teenagers who were enjoying platforms like Game of Thrones and Netflix, YouTube, a 16 year old teenager from India will be appreciated for a big research in the coming days. Because an Indian named Aakash Manoj is using pediatric science and scientific workshops, after all, it is not the choice of every child. But Akash Manoj has the distinction of being the guest of former President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

As part of the Innovation Scholars in Residence program, the child of The Ashok Leyland School has been awarded this memorable honor for developing a technique to detect heart attacks. Which is helpful in saving many lives. He has been awarded a gold medal by President Ramnath Kovind for this achievement.

In addition, he got an opportunity to visit the library of the Indian Institute of Science. Akash also participated in a competition organized by NASA where he submitted a project whereby Akash was selected to participate in a two-week program at NASA in the US in 2013.

"I want to pursue research medicine and preventive cardiology. I will make every effort to bring affordable healthcare to India" Akash Manoj, student

So, what is a silent heart attack?

Silent heart attack occurs when symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath are not felt. People forget it as indigestion, nausea, muscle aches or bad cases of flu. Because when they occur, their symptoms lack the intensity of a heart attack.

How does the sky device work?

Silent heart attacks are usually asymptomatic; Patients have no complaints and, consequently, no reason for conducting any tests. As a result, silent heart attacks usually go on without cause, until they cause significant, irreversible damage. Realizing this, Akash established scientific criteria for what a sensor would inevitably have to look to detect a heart attack several hours before a possible event.

Akash used a non-invasive technique to develop the device, which also involved the detection of proteins called FABP3 in the blood. The device can be placed behind or around the wrist or ear. "FABP3 is a protein found in normal humans at close to 50 mg / ml. I first found a reliable protein associated with heart conditions that I could detect, then I turned my attention to that protein Detected, and thus, had a silent heart attack, " he says and proceeds to explain more. Whenever we cannot understand a concept (and at the same time accept that it is all going to our head!) Then we have to stop it.

The skin patches invented by Akash should be attached to the wrist. This will release a small amount of positive charge or electrical impulse that will attract the negatively charged protein released by the heart to signal from a heart attack. If the amount of this protein (FABP3) is high, then the person should seek medical attention immediately. This seems simple, but probably not.

"The most important part is the accumulation after the proteins, where I developed a unique spectroscopic technique using non-linearized multivariate PLS regression (partially least squares), which non-invasively used these proteins without performing blood tests. Modeling to find out. Hence, where my secret formula lies, "he says and we gawk.
