In the past, leveraging vast volumes of medical data for artificial intelligence (AI) development often faced insurmountable hurdles – patient privacy concerns, data silos, and ethical issues. Federated learning emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a paradigm shift in how we utilize data to improve patient care and health outcomes.

Unlike traditional centralized approaches, federated learning empowers individual devices and institutions to collaboratively train AI models without directly sharing raw patient data. Imagine a network of hospitals, each holding unique clinical datasets. Instead of pooling this sensitive information, each site trains a model locally on its own data, then...
