Background of the Study
The integration of technology in healthcare has significantly improved diagnostic and predictive capabilities, leading to enhanced patient outcomes. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, a new frontier has emerged in predictive medicine. The Federal Medical Centre in Bauchi is exploring innovative approaches to disease prediction to improve early diagnosis and treatment strategies. A quantum-based AI model harnesses the immense computational power of quantum computing to analyze complex biological data and detect subtle patterns indicative of disease onset (Adamu, 2023). This convergence of quantum computing and AI enables the processing of vast datasets from electronic health records, genetic information, and epidemiological data with unprecedented speed and accuracy (Jibril, 2024).
The traditional methods of disease prediction, which rely on classical computing, often face limitations in processing large volumes of data and identifying non-linear relationships between variables. In contrast, a quantum-based AI model can explore these intricate data patterns more efficiently, potentially leading to earlier detection of diseases and more personalized treatment plans. This approach is particularly pertinent for the Federal Medical Centre in Bauchi, where resource constraints and diverse patient demographics necessitate the development of robust, scalable, and highly accurate predictive models (Bassey, 2025).
Furthermore, the implementation of a quantum-based AI model in healthcare could revolutionize how medical institutions respond to emerging health challenges. By enabling real-time analysis and prediction, such a model can facilitate proactive healthcare management, reduce diagnostic errors, and ultimately improve patient care outcomes. However, the integration of quantum-based technologies in a clinical setting presents unique challenges, including high costs, the need for specialized expertise, and issues related to data privacy and security. The current study seeks to design and evaluate a quantum-based AI model tailored for disease prediction at the Federal Medical Centre, Bauchi, providing a strategic framework that addresses both technological and operational challenges while maximizing clinical benefits (Adeniyi, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Healthcare institutions are increasingly challenged by the need to predict disease outbreaks and individual health risks accurately. At the Federal Medical Centre in Bauchi, conventional diagnostic tools and predictive models based on classical computing have shown limitations in managing and interpreting the complex and voluminous health data generated daily. These traditional systems often fall short in identifying early signs of disease, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment, which can adversely affect patient outcomes (Ibrahim, 2023).
The inadequacies of existing disease prediction models are further compounded by the intricate nature of biological data, which requires sophisticated analysis techniques to uncover non-obvious correlations among various health indicators. The slow processing speeds and limited analytical power of classical computing frameworks hinder the development of timely and effective predictive models. A quantum-based AI model, however, offers the promise of rapid data processing and enhanced predictive accuracy by leveraging the principles of quantum computing to manage complex datasets and learn from multi-dimensional data patterns (Adamu, 2023).
Despite its potential, the implementation of a quantum-based AI model in a healthcare setting like the Federal Medical Centre faces several challenges. These include the high cost of quantum computing infrastructure, integration with existing hospital information systems, and a shortage of professionals trained in quantum technologies. Furthermore, there is limited empirical research on the deployment of quantum-based models in clinical environments, which creates uncertainty regarding their practical benefits and scalability. This study aims to address these gaps by designing a quantum-based AI model for disease prediction, thereby evaluating its feasibility, potential benefits, and the obstacles that must be overcome to ensure its successful adoption (Bassey, 2024).
