      Quantum Health AI: The Revolution of Medicine, Public Health, and Global Health is the first comprehensive book defining the transformation of the global health ecosystem by the fusion of our most powerful technologies—quantum computing and artificial intelligence—while defending an actionable human-centred approach to doing so responsibly, equitably, and sustainably. We can continue to watch wars, diseases, poverty, polarization, cyber-crime, and climate change only worsen. Our strongest technologies can remain centralized in a small number of companies and countries for their profit and power. Or we can cooperatively put quantum AI to work for the health of all of us, by better managing this technology’s overarching strategic competition between democracies and autocracies, along with the public and private sectors (balancing human security with national security, economic growth with household livelihoods, individual rights with the common good). This book draws on the decade plus of original research and first-hand perspective of the world’s first triple doctorate-trained physician-data scientist and AI ethicist. It unpacks the history, science, values, and political economics framing and driving quantum AI (including its physics, metaphysics, ethics, governance, computing, sensing, communication, materials, and security), the global health ecosystem (healthcare systems, public health agencies, biotechnology companies, and development institutions), and their growing integration, wins, and challenges. This one-stop book provides a global, inclusive, and practical guide for understanding and shaping these societal and technological trends. It thus empowers health, technology, and policy students, practitioners, professionals, researchers, and leaders in organizations, universities, companies, and governments—ultimate... to make and maintain the human-centred quantum AI safeguarding and advancing humanity’s health, home, and future.
