How Quantum Computing & Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizing Healthcare and Medicine
Author – Utpal Chakraborty, Head of Artificial Intelligence at YES Bank, Researcher
The field of healthcare and medicine and specially the digital healthcare will get a great boost with the advancement and wide scale use of Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence. In fact, these technologies have already started transforming different areas of Healthcare and Medicine in a big way.
Before even quantum computers were there, scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine long back anticipated the potential of quantum computers to better understand genetics and different diseases. The envision been realized and a team at the University’s center for quantum computing & biology is now harnessing the power of quantum computing to gain better insights into genetic diseases with the help of algorithms. Researchers expecting that these efforts will benefit not only health care and medicine but also many other streams of science and technology. These advancements in genomics are being used to create tailored treatment plans for specific patients and quantum computing is expected to truly revolutionize the field of Personalized Medicine. One of the most exciting aspects of how this technology will have an unwavering impact on the health sector is that it will take medical decisions to a completely new horizon.
It has already been established in the research that quantum computing can optimize Radiation Therapy procedures in Cancer treatment which will bring a revolution in Cancer Care and Cancer Management by reducing the adverse side effects of radiation treatment.

Big data research and
Quantum Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Q-MRI) machines can generate extremely precise images that allow the visualization of individual molecules. Quantum computing technology can improve MRI technology by providing extremely accurate measurements and allowing doctors to look much deeper into small particles that conventional computing technology would not be able to detect. With the use of quantum computing along with
The kind of enormous computing power and intelligence that quantum computing will bring will change the landscape for
Preventive healthcare characterized by constant accumulation and monitoring of the vital health parameters and suggestive actions based on the predictions provided by
“Critical Care Decisions” decisions are taken by doctors or board of doctors backed by vital body parameters of the patient and his/her health condition. Many times, it becomes extremely difficult due to nonavailability of information pertaining to various other parameters as well as establishing correlation among them. Quantum computing along with
Quantum computing along with
A range of
Health researchers are currently focusing on how quantum computer-based techniques can be used to detect cancer. Quantum computing will examine data provided during cancer screening to identify the diseases and also specific cues and biomarkers. There are a number of universities in collaboration with healthcare companies are expecting the computational boost and predicted accuracy that quantum computing could provide in their groundbreaking products and solutions in the field of healthcare and medicine.
It is expected that widespread availability and use of quantum computing in different industry verticals will start very soon in just few years. Already today API enables programmers and developers to build interfaces that connect classic computers and existing systems with cloud-based quantum computers without requiring a deep understanding or background in quantum physics.
