The combination of Quantum Technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is shaping a new approach in life sciences and healthcare. The growing complexity of biomedical data, along with the demand for quick and precise decision-making, has led to the exploration of new computing methods beyond traditional systems. AI has shown great success in medical diagnosis, disease prediction, drug discovery, and healthcare analytics. However, traditional AI models have drawbacks when it comes to optimization, scalability, and computational efficiency. Quantum technologies offer new computing principles based on quantum mechanics, allowing for parallel processing and better optimization. This review provides a detailed look at recent progress in quantum technologies and AI applications within life sciences and healthcare. The paper examines the basics of quantum computing, quantum-inspired algorithms, and hybrid quantum-AI frameworks, emphasizing their uses in disease diagnosis, medical imaging, genomics, molecular modeling, and drug discovery. It also discusses current challenges, practical limitations, and future research directions. This review aims to give researchers, students, and practitioners a clear understanding of the developing quantum-AI landscape and its potential effects on future healthcare systems.
