Leveraging Agile Methodologies in Quantum High-Performance Computing for Advancing Healthcare Systems
Keywords:
Agile Methodologies, Quantum HPC, Healthcare, Patient-centred designAbstract
This study explores the integration of Agile methodologies with quantum high-performance computing (HPC) in healthcare. It proposes an architecture that supports user-centred design, iterative development, and cross-functional teams. The approach enhances software for personalised medicine, real-time monitoring, and telemedicine by combining Agile practices with quantum HPC’s speed and accuracy. Wearable devices and sensors support continuous patient monitoring, while data analytics and machine learning improve outcomes. The integration aims to boost efficiency, access, and care quality, ensuring better security and privacy in healthcare systems.
