Preparing Swedish Healthcare and Life Science for the Quantum Technology Era Passed
Tuesday May 23, 2023 14:30 - 15:00 F3
Lecturer: Ebba Carbonnier
Track: Innovation
In healthcare and life sciences, quantum technologies can play a transformative role in advancing precision health and precision medicine. Applications such as quantum microscopy, quantum spectroscopy, and quantum computing can improve disease prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. For example, quantum microscopy can enhance eye imaging, quantum spectroscopy can monitor tissue oxygenation in the heart and brain, and quantum computing can aid in understanding diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS, as well as accelerate drug development.
In this session, we will present our eight quantum technology projects within the health and life science sector.
