Abstract

To ensure secure, privacy-preserving healthcare data analysis an advanced federated learning (FL) Environment is integrated with differential privacy (DP) which is known as DeepFed. As the proposed framework facilitates collaborative model training across multiple healthcare institutions without exposing sensitive patient data and addressing critical challenges in privacy, security, and regulatory compliance. The objective of this paper is to utilise the decentralised deep neural networks for DeepFed which enhances diagnostic accuracy for medical imaging and electronic health record (EHR) datasets while mitigating the risk of data breaches.
