This grant accelerates the translation of quantum sensing technologies, specifically OPM-MEG and advanced imaging, into clinical applications for epilepsy and cancer diagnostics. By integrating personalized AI analyses with these sensors, the projects aim to bridge the gap between research and routine NHS use by 2027. The funding underscores a strategic shift toward practical healthcare outcomes driven by the UK National Quantum Strategy.
QuSIT to boost UK quantum sensing and imaging projects with £774k grant
The UK Quantum Technology Research Hub in Sensing, Imaging and Timing (QuSIT) has completed the application and grant-awarding phase of the QuSIT Accelerating Capability Fund (ACF) grant, allocating a total of £774k across multiple projects. This ACF Grant, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), is designed to accelerate the delivery of National Quantum Strategy (NQS) Missions outcomes, with projects completing by 30 March 2027.
University College London is leading a project to improve epilepsy diagnostics for a significantly underserved population: autistic children with epilepsy, a demographic where the incidence of autism ranges between 26-40%. The project, funded by a £774k grant from the QuSIT Accelerating Capability Fund, will utilize optically pumped magnetometer magnetoencephalography (OPM-MEG) brain sensing technology. By adapting the system and employing personalized AI analyses, researchers aim to bridge the gap between research and clinic, bolstering the clinical applicability of OPM-MEG for paediatric patients.
