Abstract

Early diagnosis of chronic diseases is paramount to improving patient survival rates, optimizing treatment trajectories, and mitigating escalating healthcare expenditures. While the recent explosion of heterogeneous healthcare data presents robust opportunities for predictive modeling, it simultaneously introduces severe computational bottlenecks regarding data dimensionality and non-linear complexity. This paper proposes a novel, high-performance hybrid prediction framework that seamlessly fuses classical machine learning topologies with Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) within a Quantum Machine Learning (QML) paradigm. The proposed architecture targets the multi-classification and risk profiling of five high-prevalence chronic conditions: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, chronic liver disease, and chronic kidney disease This project introduces “Quantum Health,” a Quantum Machine Learning (QML)-based multi disease prediction system that integrates classical and quantum computing to enhance diagnostic performance. It employs five quantum-enhanced models: Quantum Random Forest for breast cancer, Quantum Neural Network for diabetes, Quantum k-Nearest Neighbors (QkNN) for heart disease, Quantum AdaBoost for liver disease, and Quantum Naive Bayes for kidney disease. The models are evaluated using both classical methods and PennyLane simulations, enabling direct comparison of performance. The system is deployed as a Flask-based web application featuring a user-friendly dashboard, disease-specific prediction modules, prediction history with CSV export, and an analytics dashboard comparing classical and quantum accuracies. Each module provides predictions, confidence scores, and feature importance insights. Unlike monolithic classical models, our approach incorporates a parameterized quantum layer that maps low-dimensional classical medical vectors into high-dimensional Hilbert spaces, capturing intricate, non-linear correlations that evade classical kernels. Experimental evaluations executed on simulated quantum backends demonstrate that the proposed Quantum Hybrid Model drastically outperforms conventional baselines, achieving an overall classification accuracy of 96.8% and an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 98.4%. The findings establish that integrating quantum circuit state vectors with ensemble classical architectures provides a scalable, computationally efficient, and highly generalizable paradigm for next-generation clinical decision support systems.

A Hybrid Quantum-Classical Machine Learning Framework for Early and Accurate Diagnosis of Chronic Diseases

Al Khan

Chronic diseases—such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic respiratory conditions—account for over 70% of global deaths annually, with late diagnosis being a primary contributor to poor outcomes. While machine learning (ML) models have shown promise in early detection, they often suffer from limited generalizability, data heterogeneity, and insufficient interpretability in clinical settings. This paper introduces a novel hybrid quantum-classical machine learning (HQML) framework that synergistically combines the pattern recognition power of classical deep neural networks with the high-dimensional optimization capabilities of quantum algorithms to enhance diagnostic accuracy, robustness, and early signal detection in chronic disease prediction. Using multimodal electronic health record (EHR) data—including clinical, genomic, and lifestyle variables—we train a quantum-enhanced feature selector followed by a classical interpretable classifier (e.g., SHAP-augmented XGBoost). The quantum component leverages a variational quantum circuit to identify non-linear, high-order feature interactions that classical methods often miss. Validated on datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and UK Biobank, our model achieves 94.7% AUC for type 2 diabetes prediction five years before clinical diagnosis—outperforming state-of-the-art baselines by 6.2%. Crucially, the framework maintains interpretability through post-hoc explainability and reduces data bias via fairness-aware quantum embedding. This research bridges quantum computing and public health, offering a scalable, ethically grounded diagnostic paradigm. By enabling earlier, more accurate, and equitable predictions, the HQML framework has significant potential to transform preventive care and reduce the global burden of chronic disease.

Vijayalaxmi Jeure, Veena K

Heart disease is one of the major global causes of death, requiring early and precise detection for efficient treatment.With advancements in quantum computing, Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) have gained recognition as a valuable technique for improving learning models in medical diagnosis.This study further explores the application of VQC-based models for heart disease prediction, leveraging quantum computing to enhance classification accuracy.A hybrid quantum-classical model has been developed, which combines classical preprocessing for feature extraction from patient datasets with a VQC-based classifier for medical predictions.The quantum circuit using variational parameters is optimized to reduce the loss function and facilitate effective learning from complex medical data.This proposed approach is tested on benchmark heart disease datasets and evaluated against classical Machine Learning (ML) models, including Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forests, and Neural Networks.The experimental results show that VQC-based models achieve high accuracy and outperform classical models, notably on high-dimensional, non-linearly separable data.The quantum advantage of VQCs lies in their ability to encode and process data in a huge Hilbert space.However, challenges such as noise in near-term quantum devices and scalability issues remain key.This research underscores the efficacy of VQCbased quantum machine learning in medical diagnosis, paving the way for future studies on quantum-enhanced healthcare solutions.Further advancements in quantum hardware and hybrid learning techniques could allow quantum-assisted heart disease prediction to become an effective clinical tool.

Quantum and Classical Learning-Assisted Detection of Heart Diseases

Amal Miloud-Aouidate

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading global health challenge, driving the need for advanced, accurate diagnostic tools. While classical machine learning (ML) models like XGBoost have achieved significant success in medical diagnosis, they often face challenges related to accuracy plateaus and model explainability in complex, high-dimensional data spaces. Quantum machine learning (QML) emerges as a promising paradigm to potentially overcome these limitations by leveraging quantum computational advantages. This study aims to develop and evaluate a hybrid quantum-classical pipeline for the early detection of heart disease. We integrate robust data preprocessing—including missing value imputation, feature engineering, SMOTE for class balancing, and PCA for dimensionality reduction—with two classification approaches: a classical XGBoost model and a quantum Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC). Our results demonstrate that the XGBoost model achieves strong performance with an accuracy of 88.52% and an F1-score of 0.8852 on an imbalanced test set. While the VQC model did not surpass the classical baseline in the current noisy simulation environment, it shows theoretical promise. This work highlights the practical challenges of current QML and outlines a clear pathway for future research towards achieving a quantum advantage in clinical decision support systems.

A Differentiable Hybrid Classical-Quantum Circuit with PCA Feature Compression for Medical Disease Classification in Healthcare Datasets.

S. Megala, P. Ragukumar, Neelu Khare

Machine Learning (ML) approaches have achieved high performance by discovering underlying data patterns and structures. Diabetes is a life-threatening disease that affects vital organs such as the eyes (retinopathy), nerves (neuropathy), heart and kidneys (nephropathy). Although various ML models have been proposed for diabetes prediction, most struggle to effectively handle large, multi-feature datasets. Quantum Machine Learning (QML), which integrates quantum computing principles with machine learning, offers a promising solution for complex classification tasks. However, effective feature extraction remains challenging on current NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) devices due to hardware limitations. In this study, a Differentiable Quantum Circuit with Classical PCA Feature Compression is proposed for medical disease classification using a SMOTE-ENN resampled dataset and a penalized binary cross-entropy cost function to enhance quantum learning. The efficient ansatz designed in this work plays a crucial role in determining the model’s learning capability and feature extraction performance. To evaluate the robustness and generalization capability of the proposed model, three categories of medical datasets are considered. The primary focus is on diabetes classification using four diabetes-related datasets, while additional experiments are conducted on liver disease and chronic kidney disease datasets to assess the adaptability of the proposed framework across multiple healthcare domains. Six datasets from UCI, Mendeley and IEEE repositories are used: PIMA Indian Diabetes, Type-2 Diabetes, a private RTML Insulin dataset, Indian Liver Patient Dataset (ILPD), Early-Stage Diabetes Risk Prediction Dataset (ESDRPD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The proposed quantum model is simulated using the PennyLane quantum simulator and compared against preprocessed classical classifiers. Experimental results demonstrate remarkable efficiency and rapid convergence within 10--20 epochs, achieving high F1-scores of 96.15% (PIMA), 97.50% (Type-2), 98.04% (RTML), 89.47% (ILPD), 98.66% (ESDRPD) and 97.84% (CKD). These findings demonstrate that the proposed quantum model efficiently extracts relevant features and effectively handles medical disease classification tasks, highlighting its strong potential for practical healthcare applications.
