Abstract

Abstract The medical information system is rich in datasets, but no intelligent systems can easily analyse the disease. Recently, ML (Machine Learning)‐based algorithms have acted as a handy diagnostic tool to identify whether a person is affected by thyroid or not. However, they produced classification with low accuracy and led to misclassification. Hence, the proposed system combines quantum computing with ML techniques to enhance computational power and precision. The system employs modified QPSO (Quantum Particle Swarm Optimisation) for feature selection since its searching performance is better than that of conventional PSO for selecting the optimum global position of the particle, thus selecting the relevant feature. Whereas, the QSVM (Quantum Support Vector Machine) is implemented for more accurate classification than classical SVM, as it tends to capture complex patterns in data produced due to high dimensional feature space applied by quantum kernel functions. This combination of modified QPSO and QSVM tends to increase the performance accuracy significantly. The efficiency of the proposed model is measured based on derivative parameters, such as F‐1‐score, recall, precision and accuracy, with corresponding confusion matrix and ROC. Further, the classification is compared with other traditional approaches to predict the accuracy of the proposed model with traditional methods.

The healthcare systems produce a tremendous volume of medical data which may be in the form of patient records, laboratory test results and diagnostic reports. It is quite necessary to analyze such data accurately and efficiently in order to detect diseases early and plan appropriate treatment . Conventional machine learning methods have a tendency to struggling with large-dimensional and complicated medical data. To address these shortcomings, this project suggests a hybrid Quantum Machine Learning (QML) scheme of analyzing medical data and diagnosing a disease. The suggested system combines the classical data preprocessing with the quantum-enhanced data learning algorithms including Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC) and Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVM). Medical data is first processed by cleaning, normalizing and encoding to quantum states. Complex patterns and correlations that traditional algorithms can hardly be able to learn are then learned with the quantum model. The measures used to judge the performance are accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. The results of the experimental process show that the model based on QML yields better diagnostic accuracy than the conventional machine learning. This is where there is great potential in real time medical decision support systems, with the future prediction of disease and the personalized solution of care. The suggested framework indicates the potential and benefits of switching to quantum computing methods in healthcare analytics.

Cloud computing-based framework for heart disease classification using quantum machine learning approach

Huda Ghazi Enad, Mazin Abed Mohammed

Abstract Accurate early identification and treatment of cardiovascular diseases can prevent heart failure problems and reduce mortality rates. This study aims to use quantum learning to predict heart problems to increase the accuracy of traditional prediction and classification methods. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques need quantum learning to quickly and accurately analyze massive volumes of complex data. With quantum computing, the suggested DL and ML algorithms can change their predictions on the basis of changes in the dataset. This approach could help with the early and accurate detection of chronic diseases. The Cleveland heart disease dataset is undergoing preliminary processing to validate missing values to increase the precision rate and prevent incorrect forecasts. This study examined the feasibility of employing and deploying a quantum ML (QML) framework via cloud computing to categorize cardiac conditions. The research was divided into four sections. First, the principal component analysis was used to preprocess the Cleveland dataset, recursive feature elimination was used to select features, and min–max normalization was used to give the dataset a high-dimensional value. Second, we compared traditional classifiers, such as support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network, with the quantum approach to verify the quantum approach’s efficiency. Third, we examined two unique QML classification methods: quantum neural networks (QNNs) and quantum SVM (QSVM). Fourth, bagging-QSVM was developed and deployed as an ensemble learning model. Experimental results using the QNN show an accuracy of 77%, a precision of 76%, a recall of 73%, and an F 1 score of 75%. With an accuracy of 85%, a precision of 79%, a recall of 90%, and an F 1-score of 84%, the QSVM method demonstrated a much better performance than the QNN. Particularly, the Bagging_QSVM model exhibited an outstanding performance, with a flawless score of 100% across all critical performance measures. The study shows that the bagging method for ensemble learning is a solid way of increasing the accuracy of quantum method predictions.

AI-Based Disease Prediction Using Quantum Inspired Optimization Techniques

Kishore A, Nawfees MI, Dr. S. Thilagavathi

Early and accurate disease prediction is a major challenge in modern healthcare systems. Delayed diagnosis often leads to higher treatment costs and lower patient survival rates. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques are widely used to help with medical decision-making by analyzing complex healthcare datasets. However, traditional machine learning models often face issues with inefficient feature selection, poor hyperparameter tuning, and slow convergence during optimization. This is especially true when working with high-dimensional medical data. To tackle these challenges, this paper presents an AI-based disease prediction framework that uses quantum-inspired optimization techniques. This approach combines classical machine learning classifiers with optimization strategies based on quantum computing principles, such as probabilistic state representation and superposition-based search. These quantum-inspired methods allow for efficient exploration of the solution space, which leads to better feature selection and optimized model parameters. We evaluate the proposed framework using a publicly available healthcare dataset from Kaggle. We compare the performance of traditional machine learning models and quantum-inspired optimized models using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The experimental results show that the quantum-inspired optimized model consistently performs better than conventional approaches. This study demonstrates that quantum-inspired optimization provides a practical and scalable solution for improving AI-driven disease prediction systems without the need for actual quantum computing hardware.

The Support Vector Classifier (SVC) algorithm was employed for the classical approach while the QSVM algorithm was executed on a quantum simulator provided by the Qiskit quantum computing framework. The classical approach as well as the quantum-based techniques reported similar accuracy. This uniformity suggests that these methods effectively captured similar underlying patterns in the dataset. Remarkably, quantum implementations exhibited substantially reduced execution times demonstrating the potential of quantum approaches in enhancing classification efficiency. This affirms the growing significance of quantum computing as a transformative tool for augmenting machine learning paradigms and also underscores the potency of quantum execution for computational acceleration.
