Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Emerging Role of Quantum Computing in Enhancing Medical Technology and Treatment

Naveen Jeyaraman, Madhan Jeyaraman, Sankalp Yadav +2 more

The healthcare sector faces complex challenges that call for innovative solutions to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficacy, and data management. Quantum computing, with its unique capabilities, holds the potential to revolutionize various aspects of healthcare. This narrative review critically examines the existing literature on the application of quantum computing in healthcare, focusing on its utility in enhancing diagnostics, data processing, and treatment planning. Quantum computing's ability to handle large, complex datasets more efficiently than classical computers can significantly impact domains such as genomics, medical imaging, and personalized medicine. Quantum algorithms can accelerate the identification of genetic markers associated with diseases, facilitate the analysis of medical images, and optimize treatment plans based on individual genetic profiles. Moreover, quantum cryptography offers a robust security solution for safeguarding sensitive patient data, a critical need as healthcare increasingly relies on digital platforms. Despite the promising outlook, the integration of quantum computing into healthcare faces technical, ethical, and regulatory challenges. The delicate nature of quantum hardware, the need for error correction, and the scalability of quantum systems pose barriers to widespread adoption. Additionally, concerns around patient privacy and data security, as well as the need for updated regulatory frameworks, must be addressed. Ongoing research and collaborative efforts involving researchers, healthcare providers, and technology developers are crucial to overcoming these hurdles and realizing the full potential of quantum computing in transforming healthcare. As quantum computing continues to evolve, its impact on the future of healthcare could be profound, leading to earlier disease detection, more personalized treatments, and improved patient outcomes. For instance, quantum computing has already been applied to enhance drug discovery processes, with companies like D-Wave Systems (Burnaby, Canada) demonstrating faster molecular simulations for pharmaceutical research and IBM's (Armonk, USA) quantum systems being used to model chemical reactions for new drug development.

Quantum Inspired Security and Neuromorphic Computing for Medical Data Protections

Deepika Agrawal

The rapid growth of digital healthcare systems and connected medical devices has amplified the need for advanced data protection strategies. Traditional security methods face growing challenges from increasing computational power and emerging threats, including the potential impact of quantum computing. This chapter explores the integration of quantum-inspired security and neuromorphic computing as a novel approach for safeguarding sensitive medical data. Quantum-inspired techniques provide strong, future-resistant encryption by leveraging principles such as quantum key distribution and quantum-randomized algorithms, ensuring secure storage, transmission, and access control of patient information. Neuromorphic computing, modelled after the human brain, offers energy-efficient, adaptive, and parallel processing capabilities, making it ideal for edge devices like wearable sensors and Internet of Things enabled medical equipment. By combining these two technologies, healthcare systems can achieve a hybrid framework that enables quantum-resilient encryption, real-time anomaly detection, and adaptive threat monitoring, all with minimal latency and power consumption. This approach not only strengthens patient data privacy and regulatory compliance but also lays the foundation for scalable, intelligent, and secure medical data infrastructures. The chapter further discusses implementation strategies, potential applications, and future directions, highlighting the transformative potential of these emerging technologies in shaping next-generation healthcare security solutions.
