For the first time, a quantum computer began to be built in a clinic

In mid-October 2022, information appeared that a large private medical center, which is located in the American city of Cleveland, together with IBM, began installing the first quantum computer in the hospital. Read more here.

How quantum computing will help healthcare

On June 18, 2022, Chicago and Northwestern University received $700 million for research on how quantum computing will help healthcare. Quantum computing can be used to develop new treatments and protect personal health information.

Quantum computers can perform complex tasks beyond modern computers, such as folding proteins, which could help develop drugs for intractable diseases like Alzheimer's, according to researchers.

How quantum computing will help healthcare

Meanwhile, health systems by mid-2022 are preparing for the fact that quantum computers can subsequently decrypt patient data, and possibly the human genome. A quantum computer can allow you to study all known types of molecules at an unprecedented speed, test drug formulations on any cell known to humans, and all processes will occur in the shortest time possible.

While testing in living organisms and cells is one way to advance advances in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, quantum computing could also allow for a new type of experimentation and testing that, for June 2022, is not possible due to the limitations of current technology. Known as in silico clinical trials, these experiments are conducted in a fully simulated environment. According to Medical Futurist, quantum computing can help create a virtual environment in which experts can analyze variables such as body fluids, blood circulation, electrolytes, hormones, metabolism and skin temperature on digital copies of people.

And then there's the complex world of genetics and genomics, which has made significant strides since 2000. What began as a quest to decipherHumanDNA turned into a rich research space on June 18, 2022, where people have the opportunity to identify risks to their health and even trace their ancestry back to its very origins. Quantum computing will undoubtedly continue this leap and allow infinitely faster analysis and accurate prediction of potential genetic diseases, which will provide an opportunity to take preventive measures in advance and gain a deeper understanding of the genetic composition.

Overall, computing power paves the way for a goal long sought by the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. This goal is to be predictive and preventive, not reactive and delayed. While for June 2022, most modern technologies allow treating a large number of diseases, quantum computing and its incredible power allow you to anticipate and effectively eradicate such diseases in advance. The amount of data generated daily and the amount of data already available on specific patients will create fertile ground for the operation of quantum machines and the conduct of valuable, as well as deep analysis, which will not only help in the treatment, but also in the prevention of certain diseases.

Master of Medical Sciences, Sukh Bachir, who is certified in medical genetics, is confident that fundamental nature works just at the quantum level: at the subatomic level, things can exist in many different states at the same time. Classical computers use a binary calculus system, and this is not the most advanced way to simulate nature, but quantum computing can simulate molecular structures. More accurate modeling of molecules and the protein coagulation process will also help scientists develop genetics and synthetic biology.^[1]
