Disease hazard prediction has been transformed by the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare; however, there are still problems with striking a balance between interpretability and predictive routine, mostly when working with complex, high-dimensional clinical data. To improve the precision, scalability, and transparency of disease risk prediction, this work presents a novel Quantum-Enabled Explainable AI (QXAI) system that syndicates explainable machine learning with quantum computing. Through the use of quantum algorithms, explicitly quantum kernel methods and quantum-enhanced feature selection, the suggested system achieves huge electronic health record (EHR) datasets efficiently while addressing problems with non-linearity and data narrowness. This work uses explainable AI methods like SHAP and counterfactual reasoning to guarantee interpretability, allowing doctors to understand the reasoning behind predictions. Real-world medical datasets are used for a thorough evaluation, which shows that the QXAI system finishes better than traditional baselines in terms of prediction accuracy, model robustness, and explanation reliability. In the end, this paper places the foundation for the implementation of reliable, quantum-assisted decision support systems in medical practice, which will lead to more personalized, reasonable, and knowledgeable healthcare.
