ABSTRACT

As healthcare systems become increasingly digitized, the need for secure and efficient data management becomes paramount. This chapter explores the fusion of two cutting-edge technologies: quantum computing and blockchain, to address the challenges of data security, privacy, and interoperability in the healthcare sector. By leveraging the unique properties of quantum mechanics, quantum blockchain offers the potential to revolutionize healthcare data management, enabling secure sharing, analysis, and storage of sensitive medical information. This chapter delves into the fundamental concepts of quantum computing, blockchain technology, and their convergence in healthcare. It presents real-world use cases, benefits, and challenges and discusses the ethical and regulatory considerations surrounding the adoption of this innovative approach.
