Revolution in cardiac medicine: AI meets quantum sensing at HU Berlin!
The “QuantumCardiology-AI” project at HU Berlin, led by Prof. Wessel, combines AI and quantum sensing for cardiac diagnostics.

Revolution in cardiac medicine: AI meets quantum sensing at HU Berlin!
In November 2025, the “QuantumCardiology-AI” project will start at the Humboldt University of Berlin in collaboration with the MSB Medical School Berlin. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. According to Niels Wessel, an innovative combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum sensors will significantly improve cardiac diagnostics. This project has the potential to significantly transform the early detection of heart disease.
The Cardiovascular Physics working group, which Prof. Wessel leads, can look back on over 20 years of experience in the analysis of cardiovascular signals. This group's research is based on thousands of highly sensitive magnetocardiography data sets obtained from everyday clinical practice. Initial results show that it is possible to detect early signs of cardiovascular disease non-invasively and in near real time. These advances could fundamentally change the way we diagnose heart disease.
Combining quantum sensing and AI
The “QuantumCardiology-AI” project aims to detect subtle patterns in the heart’s magnetic field using AI methods such as deep learning. This patient-centered approach is supported by the High-Tech Agenda Germany 2025, which highlights quantum sensing and AI in medicine as key technologies. According to [hu-berlin.de], the project will be driven forward in collaboration with partners from clinics, industry and research in order to enable the transfer of the collected data into clinical practice.
The targeted combination of quantum sensing and AI promotes more precise diagnostics and opens up new avenues for the implementation of individualized therapies. At a time when digitalization and automation are fundamentally changing the healthcare system, such projects are crucial for the future of medicine.
A step into the future of cardiac diagnostics
The use of state-of-the-art technologies, including electronic patient records, AI-supported evaluations and digital networking of patient data, shows how profound the changes in medical technology have already been. [it-boltwise.de] highlights that intelligent assistants and robot assistants are increasingly being used in operating rooms and during telemedical consultations to support doctors and healthcare professionals.
The widespread use of smart wearables and health apps is significantly increasing the individualization of therapy and aftercare offerings (“care at home”). Integrating all of these elements into a comprehensive system can result in optimized healthcare that better meets patients' needs.
“QuantumCardiology-AI” is a significant step into the future of cardiac diagnostics, which is also likely to attract international attention. As one of the first projects of this size outside of China, it exemplifies the innovative strength in the German healthcare sector.
