CARDIO_NEXUS: Quantum-Enhanced Cardiac AI Intelligence

Project Overview

CARDIO_NEXUS is an advanced, all-in-one AI-powered cardiovascular disease prediction platform. It combines traditional machine learning, deep learning, and quantum ML models to deliver high-accuracy risk assessment and personalized health recommendations. With a modern, user-friendly web interface, CARDIONEXUS enables both patients and clinicians to screen for heart disease, access telemedicine support, monitor health trends, and respond to emergencies—anytime, anywhere, at near-zero cost.

The platform uses 8 AI models and 19 engineered features for robust prediction, supports real-time health metrics (BMI, BMR, body fat, blood pressure), offers smart medication tracking, and integrates Bangladesh’s emergency services. CARDIONEXUS reduces screening costs by over 88%, democratizes access for 170 million people, and sets a new standard for medical AI innovation.
