Mandel. “Quantum computing and artificial intelligence, for example, are helping us benefit from crucial information that will make it easier for us to accelerate the pace of medical research, support healthcare providers, address organizational challenges and, of course, improve patient care. Through advanced technology we will reach more patients with specific needs, with a higher level of safety, quality and impact on their medical experience.”
Last year, the world’s first quantum computer dedicated exclusively to health research was installed at Cleveland Clinic: the IBM Quantum System One. In addition to the quantum computer, Cleveland Clinic is applying advanced technology in other areas, including patient care (e.g., achieving more accurate and faster imaging for mammography and epilepsy care); in supporting healthcare providers (e.g., with pilot programs to help doctors take notes) and in organizational operations (e.g., in more effective management of bed and staff availability nursing).
