McKinsey and Company (2020)- Quantum computing have potential and offer innovative solutions, where simulation for larger and complex molecules can be achieved. The application of quantum techniques can help in finding the target and a precise disease understanding R11- The quantum computing can facilitate in deciding on quickly, about dosage for a particular disease and age and can help in optimizing the properties of a particular drug. This can further help in identifying causality and side effects if any along with mass customization. Cao et al. (2018) - The existing methods of drug development is not capable of addressing the complex mechanism. By employing the machine learning principles quantum computing can influence the drug discovery.

Strategyand.pwc (2020) - Quantum computing hold most promise for healthcare in terms of less invasive diagnosis and speedy clinical trials on the basis of number of combinations. R9 – How much radiation, what kind of tissue to be treated in critical patients is always a concern in clinical setting, quantum computers can be very helpful in that case. Solenov et al. (2018) - The imaging and other dispersed information is difficult for human beings to analyze and predict the state of possible action that can be achieved through quantum computing.

Accenture (2020) - As the quantum computers will be becoming readily available, that will open the doors for pharmaceutical organizations and therapies for range of diseases along with security of data. R14 – In health insurance usually it is difficult to identify and model the risk profile of prospective patient, who may require funds in future. The technology of quantum sort can address this problem. Zinner et al. (2021) – Quantum computing can facilitate drug design and appropriate pricing not only in pharmaceutical products, but also in designing and pricing the healthcare insurance.
