Open, axial and selective codes for patient.
| Selective Code | Axial code | Symbolic Quotations from Interviews and Open Code |
|---|---|---|
| Patient | Point of care | At present a patient normally comes to hospital for different type of treatment and large amount of data about the disease and health plan of individuals is created and produced, which is only in the preview of hospital with their limited experience (R17). (Open Code: Experienced based treatment) |
| If quantum computing can measure the big data with the help of sensors, wearables and other medical devices and store in cloud to be monitored regularly. This continuous monitoring can open an innovation space in healthcare that will influence the existing hospital system in making the patients' point of care (R8). (Open Code: The point of care will be patient rather than hospital). | ||
| Secure Data | Quantum computing enabled healthcare system requires hacker to break the law of quantum physics; of they want to steal some information such as genomic, genetic or electronic health record data. (R1) (Open Code: Secured and encrypted information system). | |
| The healthcare systems need to be smarter to integrate the infrastructure, employees, patients, operational tasks and clinical activities with emerging technologies. The data generated by these systems needs to be safe, reliable and should enhance the patient experience (R20). (Open Code: Alignment of all resources through quantum computing towards secured data). | ||
| Disease Treatment | Precise medical treatment in healthcare sector is the need of hour, whether it is Covid-19 or post pandemic situation. We need a technological innovation that can improve the analysis of medical imaging that can enhance image-aided diagnostics (R3). (Open Code: Precise medicine/surgery for the disease treatment). | |
| Healthcare industry is one, which often requires quick solution due to emergency situations posed by patients, be it an accident or be it cancer kind of incident. Potentially, quantum computing can analyze the stage of a patient and best suitable therapy to get the patient to better state or at least in the earlier state of body and mind (R15). (Open Code: Adequate disease treatment even in complex and challenging situation). |
