Quantum for deliverers3 In frontline healthcare, speed, accuracy and seamless data integration are critical for delivering better patient outcomes. Quantum sensing technologies are detecting biological signals with new levels of sensitivity as they move from research to early clinical trials in diagnostics, patient monitoring and imaging. Quantum communication is strengthening security for critical infrastructure in payer-provider networks, and quantum computing shows promise to drive advanced optimization for treatment planning, hospital operations and cold-chain logistics. Many systems are advancing towards cost-effective and portable form factors; however, pilots already show that quantum-enabled solutions can improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies. From hospitals to clinics, deliverers turn quantum promise into medical care. Stage 1: Commercial readiness (0–2 years) Table 7 includes a first group of quantum-enabled technologies, which are already in commercial and early clinical use in the US. These use cases have marketed products or live deployments. They represent the entry point for quantum technologies in frontline delivery workflows, where performance is already benchmarked against existing standards and adoption can generate near-term ROI.Actionable items to unlock value –Evaluate quantum imaging solutions and measure economic/diagnostic trade-offs to complement existing diagnostics. –Pilot quantum-inspired scheduling tools in operating theatres to optimize use, cancellations and throughput. –Track patient outcomes, cost savings and workflow efficiency to demonstrate value. First-mover advantage: Improve patient outcomes, reduce wait times and capture cost efficiencies; establish leadership in applying quantum tools in clinical care.3.1 Assessment of use cases maturity for deliverers Commercial examples TABLE 7 Use case examples End user Ecosystem partner Magnetocardiography (MCG) for cardiac imagingWest Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute, The Christ Hospital Health NetworkGenetesis (CardioFlux) Operating room block scheduling and utilization optimizationBaptist Health South Florida Fujitsu Quantum Technologies: Strategic Imperatives for Health and Healthcare Leaders 16
