High-dimensional medical datasets pose a persistent challenge for artificial intelligence because traditional classification algorithms often incur escalating computational costs and reduced predictive accuracy. As healthcare systems generate increasingly complex clinical records, imaging outputs, and genomic profiles, scalable analytic methods that balance precision and efficiency are critical. This study proposes a Quantum-Inspired Optimization (QIO) framework for efficient and accurate classification of high-dimensional healthcare data. Leveraging the exploratory power of variational quantum algorithms, specifically techniques analogous to the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, the framework integrates quantum-style search strategies with classical computation to achieve global optimization and numerical stability. Publicly available medical datasets with hundreds of features were used to evaluate the approach. Classification models were trained and tested across varying feature dimensionalities, and performance was assessed using accuracy, runtime, and scalability metrics. Empirical results demonstrate that QIO achieves up to 95.4% classification accuracy and reduces computational time by 40% compared with state-of-the-art classical baselines. The method demonstrates stable convergence and clear decision boundaries even as feature dimensionality grows, highlighting its resilience to the curse of dimensionality. These results indicate that QIO can enable fast and reliable healthcare analytics in data-rich clinical environments. Future research may examine domain-specific adaptations, real-time deployment, and integration with emerging quantum hardware to enhance the impact of quantum-inspired artificial intelligence further.

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.
