Abstract

We motivate the possibility of using notions and methods derived from quantum physics, and more specifically from the research field known as quantum cognition', to optimally model different situations in the field of medicine, its decision-making processes and ensuing practices, particularly in relation to chronic and rare diseases. This also as a way to devise alternative approaches to the generally adopted double-blind gold standard.
